People v. Drakes

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 26, 1990
159 A.D.2d 718 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 26, 1990

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the propriety of certain remarks made by the prosecutor during summation is unpreserved for appellate review since the defendant failed to register objections to these remarks at trial (CPL 470.05; People v Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245, lv denied 74 N.Y.2d 853). In any event, we find that the prosecutor's comments during summation did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial (see, People v Rawlings, 144 A.D.2d 500; People v Sanford, 122 A.D.2d 286; People v Roopchand, 107 A.D.2d 35, affd 65 N.Y.2d 837).

We further find that the sentence imposed, which was within statutory parameters, was not excessive under the circumstances (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Thompson, J.P., Brown, Rubin and Eiber, JJ., concur.
