People v. Manigault (297 A.D.2d 754, 2002)

The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his contention that the trial court’s examination of witnesses during the trial, and comments during the prosecutor’s summation, denied him a fair trial (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Charleston, 56 NY2d 886; People v Gonzalez, 183 AD2d 783). In any event, the trial court’s questioning was proper (cf. People v Yut Wai Tom, 53 NY2d 44, 45).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Santucci, J.P., Schmidt, Townes and Cozier, JJ., concur.
