People v. Flores
Opinion of the Court
— Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert I. Altman, J.), rendered September
Upon an independent review of the facts, we find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Defendant has not demonstrated that the jury failed to accord the evidence its proper weight, and the jury was entitled to reject defendant’s account of the incident. (People v Siu Wah Tse, 91 AD2d 350, 352.) Defendant’s argument that comments made by the prosecutor during summation deprived him of a fair trial is unpreserved (CPL 470.05 [2]), and, in any event, without merit (People v Galloway, 54 NY2d 396). Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Wallach, Asch, Kassal and Rubin, JJ.
