MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Rothman, 492 F.2d 1260 (9th Cir. 1974):
4 "We sometimes tend to forget that the testimony of a witness, presented to us in a cold record, may make an impression upon us directly contrary to that which we would have received had we seen and heard that witness. It ought not to be assumed that United States District Judges are any less determined to preserve constitutional rights than we are." United States v. Page, 302 F.2d 81, 84 (9 Cir. 1962).
