NY has an unusual order for closing. The defense provides their summation first, then the prosecution makes their closing statement. In most states, the prosecution goes 1st, then the defense; after that prosecution has a chance for a closing rebuttal. Of course NY is different.

Thanks! I thought something was odd there. I thought “the final word” was sacrosanct in the proceedings.
