Does a comment made by a federal court during trial during trial support a government witness's credibility?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rodriguez-Salinas, 101 F.3d 706 (9th Cir. 1996):

Rodriguez argues that two comments made by the district court during trial supported a government witness's credibility and, thus, deprived Rodriguez of a fair trial. Because Rodriguez did not object after the district court made the challenged comments, we review the comments for plain error. United States v. Springer, 51 F.3d 861, 864 n. 1 (9th Cir.1995).
