Opinion
March 18, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Agresta, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
Although the prosecutor's summation contained inflammatory and unwarranted comments, we affirm the judgment of conviction because there was strong evidence of guilt, prompt curative instructions were given ( People v. Gibbs, 59 N.Y.2d 930; People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Cuevas, 99 A.D.2d 553; People v Tayeh, 96 A.D.2d 1045), a number of the improper comments were not objected to (CPL 470.05; People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818; People v. Dordal, 55 N.Y.2d 954; People v. Gonzalez, 102 A.D.2d 895; Richardson, Evidence [Prince 10th ed], § 538), and the record indicates that the jury carefully focused on the evidence during its deliberations ( People v. Galloway, supra; People v Gross, 51 A.D.2d 191). In short, defendant received a fair trial ( People v. Gonzalez, supra). Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Weinstein and Eiber, JJ., concur.
