OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Allegra Glashausser of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Jeanette Lifschitz, and Tina Grillo of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hanophy, J.), rendered May 6, 2010, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, possession of burglar's tools, petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and resisting arrest, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review the challenges he now raises to portions of the prosecutor's summation ( seeCPL 470.05[2]; People v. Bey, 71 A.D.3d 1156, 1157, 898 N.Y.S.2d 189;People v. Philbert, 60 A.D.3d 698, 699, 874 N.Y.S.2d 540;People v. Gill, 54 A.D.3d 965, 864 N.Y.S.2d 135;People v. Gillespie, 36 A.D.3d 626, 831 N.Y.S.2d 83;People v. Siriani, 27 A.D.3d 670, 811 N.Y.S.2d 127). In any event, the challenged remarks were fair comment on the evidence, responsive to arguments and theories raised by the defense, or otherwise remained within the “broad bounds of rhetorical comment permissible in closing argument” ( People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396, 399, 446 N.Y.S.2d 9, 430 N.E.2d 885;see People v. Wilson, 77 A.D.3d 858, 908 N.Y.S.2d 885;People v. Bravo, 69 A.D.3d 870, 894 N.Y.S.2d 465;People v. Dorgan, 42 A.D.3d 505, 838 N.Y.S.2d 787;People v. Ravenell, 307 A.D.2d 977, 762 N.Y.S.2d 919;People v. Valdes, 291 A.D.2d 513, 738 N.Y.S.2d 223).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( seeCPL 470.15[2][c], [6][b]; 470.20[6]; People v. Thompson, 60 N.Y.2d 513, 519, 470 N.Y.S.2d 551, 458 N.E.2d 1228;People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675).
