People v. Patrice
Opinion of the Court
— Appeal by the de
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that he was deprived of a fair trial because of improper comments made by the prosecutor on summation. We disagree. While some of the comments were inappropriate, they did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237-238 [1975]; People v O’Keefe, 105 AD3d 1062, 1064 [2013]; People v St. Juste, 83 AD3d 742 [2011]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Dillon, J.E, Hall, Austin and Duffy, JJ., concur.
