People v. Wright

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided December 6, 2011PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

The defendant’s contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by certain remarks made by the prosecutor during summation is unpreserved for appellate review as he did not object to the remarks at issue (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Medina, 53 NY2d 951, 953 [1981]; People v Clemente, 84 AD3d 829, 830-831 [2011] ; People v Charles, 57 AD3d 556, 556 [2008]; People v Gill, 54 AD3d 965, 966 [2008]). In any event, the challenged remarks were fair comment on the evidence, permissible rhetorical comment, or responsive to defense counsel’s summation (see People v Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105, 109-110 [1976]).
