Answer to Question 1

A harmless error is a mistake at the trial level that has little practical consequence in terms of deciding whether the defendant is guilty or innocent.

Answer to Question 2

Determining the appropriate sentence almost always involves considering both the seriousness of the offense and the offender's prior record. Other factors that are considered include the defendant's possible threat to the community and his or her degree of remorse for committing the crime. Even age, family ties, employment status, and other demographic factors can come into play.
