People v. Colon
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 20, 2007
45 A.D.3d 776; 844 N.Y.S.2d 897
People v. Colon

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lewis, J), rendered March 3, 2005, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property, and criminal possession of burglar’s tools, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contentions that the prosecutor’s remarks during summation constituted reversible error are unpreserved for appellate review (see CEL 470.05 [2]; People v Doran, 27 AD3d 480 [2006]; People v White, 5 AD3d 511 [2004]). In any event, the contentions are without merit. The prosecutor’s com*777ments during summation that are alleged to be prejudicial were either fair comment upon the evidence or a fair response to arguments presented in summation by defense counsel, or constituted harmless error (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242 [1975]; People v Prince, 36 AD3d 833, 834 [2007]; People v Urena, 24 AD3d 693 [2005]; People v Meyers, 13 AD3d 395 [2004] ).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit. Ritter, J.P., Goldstein, Skelos and Dillon, JJ., concur.
