PEOPLE v. WILLIAMS
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Feb 23, 1998
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the prosecutor's comments made during the trial and summation are unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Dien, 77 N.Y.2d 885, 886). In any event, while some of the comments were inappropriate, they did not prejudice the defendant given the judge's prompt curative instructions. Moreover, any error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt ( see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Garrett, 219 A.D.2d 670).
O'Brien, J.P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
