With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". acting in conformity with closing argument was not so prejudicial as to deprive defendant of a fair trial — especially in light of the trial justice’s previous jury instruction on this point and defendant’s withdrawn objection to the evidence in question. As a result, we are convinced that the court’s error in failing to instruct the jury to disregard this argument does not require a new trial because, absent the prosecutor’s improper argument, it is clear to us beyond a reasonable doubt that the jury would have returned a guilty verdict anyway. See United States v. Hasting, 461 U.S. 499, 511-12, 103 S.Ct. 1974, 1982, 76 L.Ed.2d 96, 108 (1983) (applying harmless error analysis to prosecutor’s improper closing argument).
