People v. Ramirez

226 A.D.2d 282, 641 N.Y.S.2d 539, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4518

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Edward Davidowitz, J.), rendered August 27, 1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 7 to 14 years, unanimously affirmed.

The prosecutor’s summation was well within the wide latitude permitted in responding to arguments raised by defense counsel’s closing statements (People v Nai Hing Liang, 208 AD2d 401). All of the inferences drawn by the prosecutor in summation were fairly drawn from the evidence (People v Haynes, 172 AD2d 242, lv denied 78 NY2d 967). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Ellerin, Wallach, Williams and Mazzarelli, JJ.
