2 sentences

2022However, even assuming that admission of the statements was error, it was harmless since " 'the proof of [] defendant's guilt, without reference to the error, is overwhelming' and [] there is no 'significant probability . . . that the [factfinder] would have acquitted the defendant had it not been for the error' " ( People v Arafet , 13 NY3d 460, 467 [2009], quoting People v Crimmins , 36 NY2d 230, 241-242 [1975]).
