People v. Nieves

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 23, 1985
115 A.D.2d 667 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 23, 1985

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


Judgment affirmed.

Despite some inappropriate remarks made by the prosecutor during his summation, reversal is not warranted. Defense counsel's comments during summation justified to some degree the prosecutor's response (see, People v Jones, 89 A.D.2d 875, 876; People v Blackman, 88 A.D.2d 620, 621). Moreover, many of the instances of purported misconduct were not preserved for our review and the proof of defendant's guilt was overwhelming (see, People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396). Gibbons, J.P., Brown, Weinstein and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
