Heading: Submission to the jury of an unedited copy of the indictment

Text: 32 Appellant Schoenhoff contends that the original, unredacted, twenty-nine count indictment may have been given to the jury. In this event, he asserts that he and the other appellants would have suffered prejudice as a result of extraneous charges contained therein. He states that his trial counsel had advised him that evidence in the Barrington record indicates a high probability that the complete original indictment was given to the jury. Schoenhoff does not refer us to particular record pages. We find no indication in the Barrington volumes or elsewhere in the record that the jury saw the unredacted indictment. We do find that the trial judge told the jury that several counts had been omitted from the copy of the indictment he was giving them. We find this contention totally lacking in merit. 33
