People v. Turner

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

120 A.D.2d 629 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

May 12, 1986

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


Judgment affirmed.

During summation, defense counsel implied that a prosecution witness had fabricated her testimony to protect her son, who although not charged with the crime, was in defense counsel's estimation, "probably the most likely suspect". The comments of the prosecutrix on summation presently complained of were a fair response to these comments in the defendant's summation. The defendant's other contentions are either unpreserved or without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Thompson, Niehoff and Rubin, JJ., concur.
