OPTIONAL : Oral argument about whether something qualified as plain error

State v. Zinski, A17-0136 - Minnesota Supreme Court Oral Arguments - Apple Podcasts

This is an oral argument about whether the trial judge's failure to issue a limiting instruction constituted plain error. Listen if you want to hear how an attorney argues about plain error, or to hear more about limiting instructions. (Note: the underlying charge is a sexual assault and there are references to the assault in the argument.) First you hear from the government attorney who is arguing that the defendant's conviction should be reintstaed because it was NOT plain error to fail to give a limiting instruction. Second, you hear from the public defender arguing that this WAS plain error. Finally you hear a rebuttal from the government attorney.
