People v. Garo

256 A.D.2d 98 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

December 10, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Dorothy Cropper, J.).


The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. There was ample basis upon which to credit the testimony of the People's witnesses where they provided a detailed, logical and consistent narrative of the event in contrast to defendant's witnesses, who offered illogical and incredible testimony.

By failing to object, or by making only generalized objections and failing to request further relief after objections were sustained, defendant has failed to preserve his current claims regarding various comments made by the prosecutor in summation, and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review them, we would find that there was no pattern of inflammatory remarks or egregious conduct on the part of the prosecutor, and no basis for reversal ( People v. D'Alessandro, 184 A.D.2d 114, 118-119, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 884).

Concur — Lerner, P. J., Ellerin, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
