Opinion
June 26, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rosenzweig, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Most of the challenged comments that were made by the prosecutor during his summation were fair responses to defense counsel's summation or within the bounds of proper rhetorical comment (see, People v. Arce, 42 N.Y.2d 179; People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396). Moreover, any improper comments do not warrant reversal of the defendant's conviction in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Morgan, 66 N.Y.2d 255; People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).
The defendant's sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v. Delgado, 80 N.Y.2d 780; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Sullivan, J.P., Pizzuto, Santucci and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
