The following excerpt is from U.S.A v. Farhane, Docket No. 07-1968-cr (L), Docket No. 07-5531-cr (CON) (2nd Cir. 2011):
Trial Tr. at 2698-2700. Because no juror indicated that he or she would have a problem following these instructions, see United States v. Thai, 29 F.3d at 803, the district court reasonably concluded from the totality of the circumstances that the misconduct at issue did not warrant either a mistrial or new trial, see United States v. Greer, 285 F.3d at 173; United States v. Abrams, 137 F.3d at 708.
