What is considered harmless error by a jury in a personal injury case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lung Fong Chen, 393 F.3d 139 (2nd Cir. 2004):
amounts to no more than harmless error because the jury, using the court's instruction, still found the requisite intent, albeit under the wrong name. See United States v. Masotto, 73 F.3d 1233, 1239 (2d Cir.1996) ("An error is deemed harmless if we are convinced that the error did not influence the jury's verdict.").
