People v. Forgit

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

118 A.D.2d 654 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

March 10, 1986

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


Judgment affirmed.

The defendant contends that various comments made by the prosecutor during summation mandate reversal. While some of the prosecutor's comments were better left unsaid, the bulk of the comments claimed as error upon appeal were not objected to at trial. In any event, the prosecutor's comments were a response to comments made by defense counsel during his summation (see, People v. Williams, 46 N.Y.2d 1070; People v. Marks, 6 N.Y.2d 67, cert denied 362 U.S. 912; People v. Jalah, 107 A.D.2d 762). The prosecutor's summation cannot be said to have deprived the defendant of a fair trial. We have considered all the other claims raised by the defendant, and find them to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Lazer, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
