New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Robert Romero, Appellant

December 19, 20067 N.Y.3d 911

Summary

The court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, concluding that most of the defendant’s challenges to the prosecutor’s summation were unreviewable because they were not properly preserved. The preserved comments either were not improper or were cured by the trial court, and the isolated reference to an unrelated federal plea agreement did not deprive defendant of a fair trial.
