Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
Appellant and codefendants Algie Knight and Calvin Williams were convicted of trafficking in heroin. Appellant argues that the prosecutor’s remarks in closing warrant a new trial. In Knight v.

Accordingly, we reverse and remand this case for a new trial.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
