## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- explaining that, to constitute plain error, “[t]he alleged error must have ‘substantially affected the outcome of the trial,’ such that ‘but for the error, the outcome of the trial clearly would have been otherwise[.]’”
- finding no bias in part because the trial judge interrupted both sides a similar number of times and asked many witnesses questions
- noting that a person under the supervision of the APA is under detention
