Is there any objection to the instruction that the government bore the burden beyond a reasonable doubt?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Doe, 705 F.3d 1134 (9th Cir. 2013):
3. Doe did object to the district court's decision not to instruct that the government bore the burden beyond a reasonable doubt, but that is a different objection and is not enough to preserve the current issue. See United States v. Kessi, 868 F.2d 1097, 1102 (9th Cir.1989) (objecting to an instruction generally and to a different part of that instruction specifically does not satisfy preservation of an objection to another part of that instruction).
