Majority

p. 842
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Christopher Graham, Appellant.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Fuchs, J.), rendered December 10, 1985, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We conclude that the defendant was not denied a fair trial even though some of the prosecutor’s comments during summation appeared to intend to arouse the sympathy of the jury and were improper (see, People v Meredith, 128 AD2d 813 ; People v Roopchand, 107 AD2d 35 , affd 65 NY2d 837 ). Brown, J. P., Harwood, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
