What is the case law in which the jury is asked to consider evidence of prejudicial prejudice in a jury trial where the evidence of guilt is overwhelming?

Although it has often been suggested that where the other evidence of guilt is overwhelming the jury may have less need to consider evidence of a prejudicial nature, even though relevant, see, e.g., United States v. Ravich, supra; United States v. Leonard, supra, the "closeness" of the case is irrelevant to this weighing process.

12 In this respect the potential for prejudice fell far short of that presented in United States v. Ravich, supra, where a small arsenal of weaponry seized from the defendants upon arrest was introduced as real evidence and lay in full view of the jury on the courtroom table and was available for examination by it, or United States v. Wiener, supra, where the loaded gun found by police at the time of the defendant's arrest was displayed to the jury.
