Opinion
May 18, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant did not object to the comments made by the prosecutor on summation and, therefore, no error of law was preserved for appellate review (see, People v. Nucci, 57 N.Y.2d 818). In any event, the prosecutor's remarks concerning the credibility of his witnesses were a fair response to the defense summation which suggested that the People's witnesses had manufactured their story (see, People v. Oakley, 114 A.D.2d 473; People v. Marks, 6 N.Y.2d 67, cert denied 362 U.S. 912; cf., People v. Stewart, 92 A.D.2d 226, 229, 230-231). Moreover, these remarks were a proper comment since the issue of credibility was central to the trial (see, People v. Ashwal, 39 N.Y.2d 105; People v. Oakley, supra). Bracken, J.P., Niehoff, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
