Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
For the most part the defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that the prosecutor made improper statements during his summation ( see, CPL 470.05; People v Nuccie, 57 NY2d 818, 819; People v Simms, 222 AD2d 622; People v Melendez, 143 AD2d 946, 947). In any event, the remarks in question were fair comment on the evidence ( see, People v Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105; People v Simms, supra), or fair response to the comments that the defense counsel made during summation ( see, People v Galloway, 54 NY2d 396; People v Blair, 226 AD2d 470; People v Miller, 183 AD2d 790, 791).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive.
