People v. Hill

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

184 A.D.2d 658 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

June 15, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant claims that certain remarks made by the prosecutor on summation deprived her of her right to a fair trial. However, since the defendant raised only general objections to these remarks, and since the defendant's mistrial motion did not alert the court to any of the comments now in issue on appeal, the defendant's claims are unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v. Balls, 69 N.Y.2d 641; People v Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951). In any event, we find that the summation consisted of fair comment on the evidence and did not exceed the bounds of advocacy (see, People v. Ashwal, 39 N.Y.2d 105, 109).

The defendant's remaining contentions, which concern the court's charge and the sentence imposed, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Harwood, Balletta and Eiber, JJ., concur.
