Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: None of defendant's contentions requires reversal. Although at times the prosecutor's summation exceeded fair comment, it was not so egregious that it deprived defendant of a fair trial, particularly since the court sustained several of defense counsel's objections and gave curative instructions (see, People v. Mohammed, 151 A.D.2d 1018, 1019, lv. denied 74 N.Y.2d 815). Defendant has failed to preserve his contention regarding the court's charge on reasonable doubt and, in any event, when viewed in its entirety, the charge conveyed to the jury the proper legal principles regarding the burden of proof (see, People v. Luis, 145 A.D.2d 960, 961, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 923). Although the court erred in admitting a tape of the victim's telephone call to the police describing the incident that led to his death (see, People v. Wilson, 123 A.D.2d 457, lv. denied 70 N.Y.2d 659), the error was harmless given the overwhelming evidence of defendant's guilt.
