Opinion
June 26, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, Bronx County (John Moore, J.).
Defendant's generalized objections failed to preserve his present challenges to the prosecutor's remarks on summation ( People v. Balls, 69 N.Y.2d 641), and we decline to reach them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would find that the comments did not constitute expressions of personal opinion, and were proper responses to the defense attack upon the credibility of the People's sole eyewitness within the bounds of permissible rhetorical comment ( see, People v Halm, 81 N.Y.2d 819; People v. Nai Hing Liang, 208 A.D.2d 401).
