(in the US) In criminal trials - the defense ALWAYS makes the final closing argument before the judge and/or jury.

However, according to the rules of criminal procedure, the prosecution does retain a right (if it wishes) to make a rebuttal argument. Sometimes the prosecution choosese to exercise this right, sometimes they do not.

If the prosecution chooses to exercise the right to make a rebuttal argument there is no right to a "re-rebuttal" by the defense.
