MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Robertson, 15 F.3d 862 (9th Cir. 1994):

8 See Huddleston v. United States, 485 U.S. 681, 108 S.Ct. 1496, 99 L.Ed.2d 771 (1988); Dowling v. United States, 493 U.S. 342, 110 S.Ct. 668, 107 L.Ed.2d 708 (1990).

9 As this court has recently found it necessary to remind prosecutors (see United States v. Kojayan, 8 F.3d 1315, 1324 (9th Cir.1993), the desire to win a conviction should never eclipse the more important responsibility of serving justice.

10 See United States v. Jones, 559 F.2d 960, 961 (5th Cir.), reh'g denied, 564 F.2d 98 (1977), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 1021, 98 S.Ct. 747, 54 L.Ed.2d 769 (1978): "It would be a miscarriage of justice if a defendant were found guilty of one offense simply because the jury felt he should be punished because of participation in other offenses for which he is not on trial."
