The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Chandler, 98 F.3d 711 (2nd Cir. 1996):
Here, we find that there was error. Viewing the error in the context of the charge as a whole, as we must, United States v. Vebeliunas, 76 F.3d 1283, 1290 (2d Cir.1996), we find that the error neither prejudiced the defendant nor diminished her rights.
