How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• \specific objection to a different part of the instruction ... does not satisfy Rule 30\
• one type of objection to an instruction does not necessarily preserve another objection if there was no reason to believe the district court was fully aware of that objection
• parties need not object following the instructions if doing so would be a \pointless formality\
• Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 30(d) requires a “specific objection” that is “formal, timely, and distinctly stated”
• “We will seldom find plain error when evidence against the defendant is so strong that the absence of the prosecutor’s misconduct would not have changed the verdict.”
