People v. Goodson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Aug 24, 1992
185 A.D.2d 945 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

August 24, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant did not object to the comments made by the prosecutor on summation and, therefore, no error of law was preserved for appellate review (see, People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818). In any event, the prosecutor's remarks constituted fair comment upon the evidence or were responsive to arguments raised by the defense in summation and did not exceed the bounds of permissible rhetorical comment (see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Guthrie, 157 A.D.2d 668; People v. Estrella, 156 A.D.2d 710; People v. Brown, 158 A.D.2d 461; People v. Vaughn, 136 A.D.2d 752).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Harwood and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
