People v. Ellis

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 2, 1998
247 A.D.2d 404 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

February 2, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Robinson, J.).


Ordered that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

While some of the prosecutor's comments during summation were better left unsaid, given the Judge's prompt curative instructions and the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, they do not warrant reversal ( see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Garrett, 219 A.D.2d 670).

Joy, J. P., Krausman, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
