The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ronder, 639 F.2d 931 (2nd Cir. 1981):
In sum, we cannot say "with fair assurance," United States v. Schor, supra, 418 F.2d at 30, that the procedural error in the handling of the jury's inquiries did not affect the verdict. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial.
