Racially charged closing argument leads to reversal of a first degree murder conviction

I have written a number of stories in the past about cases in which appeals' courts reverse convictions simply based on what prosecutors say in their closing arguments.  In other words, cases in which improper arguments result in reversals of convictions.

Just a few days ago, I read another example.  In this case, a prosecutor's racially-charged rebuttal closing argument led to a reversal of a first degree murder conviction by the North Carolina Court of Appeals.  You can read a summary of the case here.
