People v. James

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 10, 1989
149 A.D.2d 533 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

April 10, 1989

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


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant contends that several remarks made by the prosecutor during his summation served to deprive him of a fair trial. However, most of the alleged errors with respect to the comments complained of have not been preserved for appellate review (see, People v. Lynch, 135 A.D.2d 865). In any event, the prosecutor's comments, although inappropriate (see, People v Bonaparte, 98 A.D.2d 778; People v. Ricchiuti, 93 A.D.2d 842), did not serve to deprive the defendant of a fair trial.

The interest of justice does not warrant the reduction of the bargained-for sentence imposed on the defendant's bail jumping conviction. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Brown and Harwood, JJ., concur.
