Opinion
July 28, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Friedmann, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, we find that the defendant's guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt (People v Bonaparte, 114 A.D.2d 964). The defendant was identified at both a lineup and at trial by a complainant who had viewed him at close range under good lighting conditions. Any issue of credibility raised by the defendant's denial of participation in the crime was properly a matter for the jury to determine (see, People v Cox, 114 A.D.2d 968).
The defendant failed to preserve for review his contention that the trial court intruded excessively upon the presentation of his defense, as no objections were set forth (see, People v Fernandez, 110 A.D.2d 657). In any event, this contention is without merit since the questioned comments merely demonstrated a fair discourse between counsel and the court which did not prejudice the defendant.
The defendant also failed to preserve for our review the issue of the propriety of the court's charge, as there was no objection taken nor was there a refusal of a request for an additional charge (see, People v Irazarry, 114 A.D.2d 1041). In any event, the alibi charge only pertained to the codefendant since the defendant did not proffer such a defense but relied solely upon his own testimony that he did not commit the crimes charged, could not recall his whereabouts at the time of the crime, and did not know his codefendant. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
