Opinion
October 4, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Pitaro, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was denied a fair trial by virtue of prosecutorial misconduct is without merit. Almost all of the comments complained of on appeal were not the subject of trial objections and, accordingly, the claims related thereto are not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Balls, 69 N.Y.2d 641). In any event, the prosecutor's comments did not exceed the broad bounds of rhetorical comment permissible in closing arguments (see, People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396) and, further, constituted permissible responses to the summation commentary of the defense (see, People v. Gordon, 172 A.D.2d 771; People v. Ayala, 165 A.D.2d 878; People v. Centino, 133 A.D.2d 776).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
