Description
Contrary to defendant's contention, the trial court acted within its discretion in determining that the interpreter was competent (People v Catron, 143 A.D.2d 468). There was no showing that any serious error in translation occurred during trial which would warrant a reversal (People v Rolston, 109 A.D.2d 854, 855). Defendant raises several arguments with respect to the prosecutor's summation. He first contends that the prosecutor improperly vouched for the People's witnesses. However, the statements made were in fair response to arguments raised by the defense in summation (People v Colon, 122 A.D.2d 151, 151-152, lv to appeal denied 68 N.Y.2d 810). The remaining contentions were not preserved as a matter of law and we, therefore, decline to reach them. Were we to consider them, we would nevertheless affirm, finding them to be without merit and that the summation was in fair response to defense arguments.
