Opinion
Argued June 15, 2000
September 25, 2000.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Fisher, J.), rendered June 16, 1997, convicting him of assault in the second degree and criminal trespass in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (Bonnie C. Brennan of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot, Regan A. Otto, and Lynne Kurtz-Eitrin of counsel), for respondent.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, LEO F. McGINITY, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant did not object to the summation remarks made by the prosecutor that he now claims were improper. Accordingly, his arguments regarding those comments are unpreserved for appellate review. In any event, the challenged comments were either fair comment on the evidence, or a fair response to the defense summation, which extensively attacked the complainants' credibility (see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Rosa, 204 A.D.2d 744; People v. Russo, 201 A.D.2d 512).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
