Opinion
July 6, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, we find that the prosecutor's references to the crime scene as a high drug area do not warrant reversal (see, People v. Chaitin, 61 N.Y.2d 683; People v. Kornegay, 164 A.D.2d 868). With respect to the defendant's remaining contentions, any errors were harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v. Brown, 193 A.D.2d 612). Mangano, P.J., Rosenblatt, O'Brien and Copertino, JJ., concur.
