Opinion
January 8, 1990
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Thorp, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the testimony of two detectives constituted improper bolstering (see, People v. Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471) was not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Ray, 127 A.D.2d 859; People v. Merritt, 117 A.D.2d 629). In any event, in view of the overwhelming evidence of guilt, including clear and strong proof of the defendant's identity as the perpetrator, the error, if any, was harmless (see, People v. Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969, 970; People v. Mobley, 56 N.Y.2d 584, 585; People v. Ray, supra; People v. Merritt, supra).
We find that defendant's contentions with respect to the prosecutor's summation are either unpreserved for appellate review or are without merit (see, CPL 470.05; People v Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818; People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v Paul, 116 A.D.2d 746).
Under the circumstances, the defendant's sentence was appropriate (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Lawrence, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
