People v. Lara

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

265 A.D.2d 428 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Submitted June 17, 1999

October 12, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.).


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his claim that the prosecutor improperly referred to facts not in evidence during summation ( see, CPL 470.05). In any event, the prosecutor's summation comments accurately reflected the testimony at trial and were a fair comment upon the evidence ( see, People v. Custudio, 244 A.D.2d 418).

Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

S. MILLER, J.P., SANTUCCI, SULLIVAN, and FLORIO, JJ., concur.
