Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that certain remarks made by the prosecutor during summation denied him a fair trial is unpreserved for appellate review, as he failed to object to the subject remarks ( see CPL 470.05; People v George, 49 AD3d 554, 554-555). In any event, most of the challenged remarks were fair comment on the evidence, permissible rhetorical comment, or responsive to the defense counsel's summation ( see People v Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105, 109-110; People v Applewhite, 50 AD3d 1046; People v Dick, 48 AD3d 697). "To the extent that the prosecutor may have exceeded the bounds of permissible rhetorical comment, any error was harmless" ( People v Carter, 36 AD3d 624, 624; see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230).
The defendant's remaining contentions either are without merit or do not warrant reversal.
