The following excerpt is from United States v. Gargiso, 456 F.2d 584 (2nd Cir. 1972):
4 It has been suggested that it is easier to declare an error involving an exclusionary rule "harmless" when, as here, the case was tried to a court, not to a jury. See United States v. Krol, 374 F.2d 776, 779 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 835, 88 S.Ct. 46, 19 L.Ed.2d 97 (1967).
