People v. Jones

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 25, 1995
219 A.D.2d 736 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 25, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the trial court improperly commented on the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review as the defendant did not ask for a further curative instruction or renew his motion for a mistrial (see, CPL 470.05; see also, People v Geddes, 134 A.D.2d 279). In any event, the court's statement was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence presented (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230, 241-242).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Copertino, J.P., Santucci, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
