Heading: Cumulative Effect of Alleged Errors

Text: Lee argues that the above errors, when combined, violate the concepts of fundamental fairness and due process of the law, and require reversal. We review the cumulative impact of multiple errors de novo, although some of the errors might individually be reviewed for plain error. United States v. Dohan, 508 F.3d 989, 993 (11th Cir. 2007). Reversal of a conviction may be warranted where the cumulative effect of multiple errors is so prejudicial that a defendant was deprived of the right to a fair trial, even though the errors considered individually were harmless. United States v. Ramirez, 426 F.3d 1344, 1353 (11th Cir. 2005). Because, as we discussed infra, the district court did not make a series of cumulative errors, Lee’s cumulative effect argument necessarily fails.
