What is the standard of review for harmless error?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Job, 851 F.3d 889 (9th Cir. 2017):
6 The government misstates our standard of review for harmless error; the standard is not whether "a rational jury could ... have found Job guilty" on both counts. See United States v. Oaxaca, 233 F.3d 1154, 1158 (9th Cir. 2000) (noting "the harmlessness of an error is distinct from evaluating whether there is substantial evidence to support a verdict").
