People v. Edwards

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Micki Scherer, J.), rendered July 29, 1999, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 25 years to life and 7 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

The overall effect of the prosecutor’s summation was within the range of acceptability (see, People v D’Alessandro, 184 AD2d 114 , 118-119, lv denied 81 NY2d 884 ). For the most part, the remarks challenged by defendant on appeal were fair responses to defense counsel’s arguments and were not misleading (see, People v Overlee, 236 AD2d 133 , lv denied 91 NY2d 976 ). Were we to find any error, we would find it to be harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of defendant’s guilt. Concur — Nardelli, J. P., Andrias, Wallach, Lerner and Rubin, JJ.
