People v. Robinson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 2, 1985
115 A.D.2d 500 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 2, 1985

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


Judgment affirmed.

On appeal, defendant contends that numerous instances of prosecutorial misconduct deprived him of a fair trial. While some of the prosecutor's remarks would have been better left unsaid, the bulk of the alleged errors were unobjected to, and for the most part, the prosecutor's comments on summation were a fair response to remarks made by defense counsel on summation (see, People v Anthony, 24 N.Y.2d 696; People v Marks, 6 N.Y.2d 67, cert. denied 362 U.S. 912; People v Blackman, 88 A.D.2d 620). While there were instances of prosecutorial misconduct, reversal is not appropriate in view of the overwhelming evidence of defendant's guilt. We have considered defendant's remaining claims and find them either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
