v.
GEORGE.
Calendar No. 51, Docket No. 50,758.
Supreme Court of Michigan.
Decided April 9, 1965.
Delayed motion for rehearing dismissed May 10, 1966.
Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, Samuel H. Olsen, Prosecuting Attorney, Samuel J. Torina, Chief Appellate Lawyer, and Angelo A. Pentolino, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.
Oscar E. Liggett, for defendant.
DETHMERS, J.
Defendant was charged in complaint and warrant with (1) possession and (2) sale *264 of narcotics.[1] She was also charged therein as a second offender.[2] After preliminary examination she was bound over for trial on the 2 counts of possession and of sale, but not as a second offender. An information was filed charging accordingly. She filed a motion to quash. This was denied. In argument on the motion, defendant's counsel asked that a count be added to the information charging "addiction". He said the assistant prosecuting attorney had agreed that he would add such count and counsel indicated that defendant would plead guilty to such charge. The court denied the motion to quash and defendant's request to add the "addiction" count.
The jury found defendant guilty of both possession and sale.
Defendant's brief, in 4 pages, states 10 questions as being involved in this appeal. In its 3 pages of argument only 5 questions are discussed or mentioned. The others are to be deemed waived and will not be considered by this Court. People v. Thompson, 221 Mich 621; People v. Coapman, 326 Mich 321.
Was it error for the court to decline to permit the addition of an "addiction" count to the information? No statute or rule requires the court to add a count at the request of defendant, nor even on motion of the prosecuting attorney. It is a matter for the discretion of the court. There is no showing of abuse of discretion in this connection.
Before the court on December 30, 1963, defendant's counsel asked for an adjournment for 1 week in order to have time to prepare for trial. This was denied. It appears from the record that trial did not actually begin until February 10, 1964. Thus, counsel *265 had more than the requested 1 week's time to prepare for trial. No error.
Defendant complains of statement in assistant prosecutor's closing argument to jury that the only way officers can stop narcotics violations is by use of informers or so-called stool pigeons, and that a verdict of not guilty would amount to telling officers charged with enforcement of the narcotics law, "Well, too bad, boys, you will just have to let these people go on." The court immediately stated to the jury that this was improper argument and directed them to ignore it. The prosecutor's remarks were provoked and made in response to defense counsel's sarcastic attacks upon the record and integrity of the people's chief witness, the informer, and upon the officers for using him to make the buy from defendant. The record shows considerable provocation for the remarks. The court's instruction on the matter cured such error as occurred. We find no reversible error in this regard.
Finally, defendant's counsel says that after both sides had rested their case but before it had gone to the jury, the witness for the people, who made the buy and was the informer, called him by telephone at 10:30 p.m. and said that he did not want defendant convicted and that he had testified falsely against her because she had refused to marry him. Counsel says that he informed the trial judge of this telephone call. He contends that it was error for the judge not to have called that witness into open court and questioned him under oath before the jury about the call. Defendant's motion for new trial and supporting affidavit by her counsel refer to the telephone call, but no allegation is made therein, nor is it stated in the brief or appendix, that counsel informed the court of that occurrence before the case went to the jury the next morning or before verdict. Nothing affirmatively appears, therefore, to establish *266 neglect of duty or error on the part of the trial court in this connection.
Affirmed.
