The prosecutor’s comments during summation were a fair response to the alternative theories proposed in the defense summation, well within the bounds of legitimate advocacy (People v Galloway, 54 NY2d 396) and, in any event, insufficient by themselves to warrant reversal (see, People v Monje, 179 AD2d 437, 438, lv denied 79 NY2d 951; cf., People v Diaz, 170 AD2d 202, 203-204, rearg granted on other grounds 172 AD2d 341).
