061772P.pdf   01/18/2007  USA  v.  John Palma
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1772
   District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Bowman and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. While prosecutor's appeal to jurors as
   taxpayers was improper, the district court did not abuse its discretion in
   denying defendant's motion for a mistrial or his motion for new trial, as
   the error was harmless in light of the strength of the government's case.
