57 A.D.3d 573 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

No. 2006-11843.

December 2, 2008.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Buchter, J.), rendered December 11, 2006, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Michael Dang of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot, and Christopher Barnett of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Skelos, J.P., Lifson, Santucci and Carni, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that certain comments made by the prosecutor constituted reversible error. To the extent that the prosecutor made improper remarks during summation, the error was harmless ( see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80, 86).
