Opinion
April 29, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Calabretta, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
While the trial court erred in permitting the prosecution's witness to testify that he observed the defendant commit what he considered to be criminal offenses, reversal of the judgment of conviction is not warranted on that basis, as the evidence of the defendant's guilt was overwhelming, and the testimony as to uncharged crimes was not so pervasive as to have created a significant probability that it directed the jury's attention from the actual charges to be proven (cf., People v. McArthur, 170 A.D.2d 540; People v. Harris, 150 A.D.2d 723, 726).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Kunzeman and Balletta, JJ., concur.
