Most-quoted passages

“[I]f the jury cannot see the defendant’s shackles, there can be no prejudice. See, e.g., United States v. Mayes, 158 F.3d 1215, 1226-27 (11th Cir.1998) (“The restraints in this case were not capable of affecting the jury’s attitude in any way because the district court took great care to ensure that the jury never saw that the appellants were wearing leg irons.”); United States v. Brazel, 102 F.3d 1120, 1158 (11th Cir.1997) (“Defendants, moreover, have not shown a realistic likelihood that they were prejudiced by what was done, the shackles having been screened from view.”).”
