People v. Rutledge

202 A.D.2d 1021, 610 N.Y.S.2d 920, 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 3398

Opinion

—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Upon examination of this record, we conclude that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that prosecutorial misconduct on summation deprived him of a fair trial (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Goldman, 197 AD2d 906). In any event, there is no merit to that contention. Further, we conclude that the sentence imposed is neither unduly harsh nor severe.
