However, because the trial judge forcefully sustained defendant\u2019s objection and gave an appropriate curative instruction and because of the strength of the State\u2019s case and the lack of any real defense proffered by defendant, we are satisfied that the error was not prejudicial. We, therefore, affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals.\nAffirmed.",
