Opinion
February 8, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dunkin, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The proof of the defendant's guilt was overwhelming, and there is no possibility that the jury would have returned a different verdict in the absence of certain improper remarks by the prosecutor (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v Roopchand, 107 A.D.2d 35, affd 65 N.Y.2d 837). However, while we affirm the defendant's conviction, we repeat our previous admonishment to prosecutors and advise the trial bench that remarks of an inflammatory nature or content have no place in the conduct of the People's representatives in court (see, People v Roopchand, supra, at 37).
The defendant's remaining contention regarding his sentence is without merit. Mangano, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
