Opinion
April 20, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pesce, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The evidence adduced at trial proved the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Bauer, 113 A.D.2d 543, 548, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 648, and 67 N.Y.2d 880), bearing in mind that issues of credibility are primarily for the jury (see, People v Shapiro, 117 A.D.2d 688, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 950). The prosecutor's cross-examination of the defendant with respect to prior criminal acts, for purposes of impeaching his credibility, was within the bounds properly permitted by the court, in the sound exercise of its discretion (see, People v Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371, 374; People v Sito, 114 A.D.2d 1049).
The defendant's claims with respect to certain comments made by the prosecutor in summation were not properly preserved for our review as a matter of law (CPL 470.05) and in the circumstances of this case, we decline to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction in order to review them. We have considered the remaining contentions raised by the defendant and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Weinstein, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
