People v. Waisome

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 14, 1998
253 A.D.2d 776 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

September 14, 1998

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contentions that certain remarks made by the prosecutor during summation constitute reversible error are, for the most part, unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Zephir, 226 A.D.2d 408). In any event, the comments made by the prosecutor during summation were either fair comment on the evidence, permissive rhetorical comment, responsive to the defendant's summation ( see, People v. Ashwal, 39 N.Y.2d 105; People v. Turner, 214 A.D.2d 594), or were not so prejudicial as to constitute reversible error in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt ( see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).

Miller, J. P., Krausman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
