People v. Brown

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 16, 1995
220 A.D.2d 606 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

October 16, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Pitaro, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that improper summation comments by the prosecutor and a deficient "interested witness" charge by the court warrant reversal of his conviction. However, upon our review of the record, we do not find reversible summation error ( see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396, 401) and we conclude that the court's charge concerning weighing the credibility of witnesses, when read as a whole, was adequate on this record. Moreover, the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15). Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Ritter and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
