United States v. Watson

How courts have described this case

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

• considering, in reviewing a 404(b)/403 claim for plain error, whether the government emphasized the challenged evidence during trial
• finding no unfair prejudice where \the judge explicitly forbade the government from intimating\ an inflammatory inference
• affirming judicial notice over Rule 403 objection where the notice was \narrowly confined to the material necessary for\ the jury to understand the noticed fact
• discussing statements made in the prosecution’s rebuttal to Leppo’s closing argument, but describing difficulty of proving prejudice in a way that extends to the Tomasetta affidavit as well
