THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. RICARDO TOSCANO, Also Known as JORGE GONZALEZ, Appellant.

Admission of the police officer's redirect testimony of hearsay statements made by the crime victims, one of whom did not testify, did not constitute error, since defendant "opened the door" to the line of questioning pursued by the prosecutor. (People v Melendez, 55 N.Y.2d 445.) The complained-of summation remarks made by the prosecutor were merely a fair response to defense counsel's summation challenging the credibility of the People's witnesses. (People v Morgan, 66 N.Y.2d 255.) Defendant's remaining argument has been considered and deemed meritless.

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Carro, Asch, Kassal and Rosenberger, JJ.
