MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Mitchell, 172 F.3d 1104 (9th Cir. 1999):
We must reverse for the objected to error in admitting the poverty evidence unless it is more probable than not that the error did not materially affect the verdict. United States v. Rahm, 993 F.2d 1405, 1415 (9th Cir.1993). The government bears the burden of persuasion with respect to proving that the error was harmless. United States v. Annigoni, 96 F.3d 1132, 1145 (9th Cir.1996).
