“A harmless error analysis is contextual and specific to the circumstances of the case: “No definite rule of law governs [a finding of harmless error]; rather the materiality and prejudicial character of the error must be determined from its relationship to the entire case. Error is harmless when it could not reasonably have affected the result of the trial.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Simmons · State v. Young“Error which substantially damages the defendant's credibility cannot be held harmless where such credibility is essential to his defense.”
