People v. Wilson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 12, 1999
265 A.D.2d 434 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Argued June 28, 1999

October 12, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Barros, J.).


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claims that the prosecutor committed reversible error by making allegedly prejudicial remarks in his opening statement and summation are largely unpreserved for appellate review, and are, in any event, without merit. The prosecutor's remarks about the defendant's conduct amounted to fair comment on the evidence ( see, People v. Woodson, 198 A.D.2d 535).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, FLORIO, and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
