Opinion
May 12, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Broomer, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The several remarks by the prosecutor in summation which were objected to were a fair response to defense counsel's summation (see, People v Marks, 6 N.Y.2d 67, 77, cert denied 362 U.S. 912; People v Jones, 89 A.D.2d 875; People v Blackman, 88 A.D.2d 620). In any event there was overwhelming proof of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Roopchand, 107 A.D.2d 35, affd 65 N.Y.2d 837; People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v Brosnan, 32 N.Y.2d 254). We also find that the reasonable doubt charge, taken as a whole, adequately conveyed the appropriate law to the jury (see, People v Blackshear, 112 A.D.2d 1044; People v Harvey, 111 A.D.2d 185). Lastly, there is no basis for modification of the sentence imposed. The trial court did not act improperly in imposing consecutive sentences since the sentences were imposed for two separate crimes (see, e.g., People v Brathwaite, 63 N.Y.2d 839; People v King, 115 A.D.2d 563; People v Counts, 97 A.D.2d 772; People v Dorsey, 79 A.D.2d 611). Mollen, P.J., Lazer, Mangano and Thompson, JJ., concur.
