Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon, Leonard Truesdale appeals. He complains of statements made by the prosecutor in his closing argument to the jury, of questions asked in the cross-examination of his character witness, and of the court’s instruction on flight as showing consciousness of guilt.

We find no error affecting substantial rights.
