People v. Pinelle

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Aug 15, 1986
122 A.D.2d 895 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

August 15, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Clabby, J.).


Judgment, as amended, affirmed.

The evidence at trial supported the jury's verdict of guilt. We find no merit to the argument advanced in the defendant's pro se brief that the conduct of the prosecutor was so improper under the circumstances as to require a new trial. The defendant failed to preserve many of his contentions for appellate review (see, People v Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951). In addition, any prejudice which might have resulted from the prosecutor's improper comments generally was dissipated by curative instructions or rulings, as well as by a charge which thoroughly set forth the legal principles applicable to the case (see, People v Robinson, 83 A.D.2d 887).

We have considered the other contentions raised in the defendant's pro se brief and find them to also be meritless. Lazer, J.P., Mangano, Brown and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
