People v. Lewis
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the trial court did not err in granting the prosecutor’s challenge for cause to a prospective juror (see People v Rennie, 34 AD3d 504 [2006]; cf. People v Oliveri, 29 AD3d 330 [2006]).
The defendant’s challenges to allegedly prejudicial comments made by the prosecutor on summation and allegedly prejudicial questions on the defendant’s cross-examination are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the comments and questions complained of do not warrant reversal (see People v Wright, 40 AD3d 1021 [2007]; People v Liu, 104 AD2d 1052 [1984]).
The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Mastro, J.P., Fisher, Garni and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
