MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Favors v. Eyman, 466 F.2d 1325 (9th Cir. 1972):
Although this comment was improper, it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in view of the overwhelming evidence in the record of Favors' guilt. Chapman v. California, 1967, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705; Fahy v. Connecticut, 1963, 375 U.S. 85, 84 S.Ct. 229, 11 L.Ed.2d 171.
Affirmed.
