The court properly exercised its discretion in precluding defendant from making summation comments that lacked a good faith basis and rested on speculation ( see People v. Tankleff, 84 NY2d 992; People v. Galloway, 54 NY2d 396, 399). The court's rulings did not impair defendant's right to deliver a summation and present a defense.
Defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would reject them.
