THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent v. RICKEY SHERRON, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The majority of the defendant's contentions regarding the prosecutor's improper questions and comments pertaining to his right to remain silent are unpreserved for appellate review, since they were not objected to at the trial or were objected to on different grounds than those he argues on appeal ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Turriago, 90 N.Y.2d 77, 83-84; People v. Fabricio, 307 A.D.2d 882). In any event, in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, the errors were "harmless beyond a reasonable doubt" ( People v. Hichez, 240 A.D.2d 678, 679).

The majority of the defendant's challenges to the prosecutor's remarks on summation are unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v. Campbell, 271 A.D.2d 693; People v. Lamour, 203 A.D.2d 388) . In any event, they were proper responses to arguments made by the defense counsel during summation and were fair comment on the evidence ( see People v. Campbell, supra; People v. Lamour, supra).

RITTER, J.P., S. MILLER, ADAMS and COZIER, JJ., concur.
