   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1169
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bye, Circuit Judge, and Smith
   Camp, District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Allowing officers to testify
   that they observed a photo of a handgun on defendant's cell phone and a
   handgun holster on his person did not violate his Confrontation Clause
   rights because even though the officers did not preserve the evidence,
   defendant had the opportunity to effectively cross-examine the officers on
   their observations; no error in admitting video where officers informed
   defendant that the victim had alleged that he shot at her as the evidence
   was relevant to the issue of defendant's possession of a firearm; admission
   of defendant's Oklahoma prison records was not error; district court did
   not err in assessing a criminal history for defendant's Oklahoma
   conviction for possession of a firearm while committing a drug trafficking
   offense as the Oklahoma offense was a crime of violence for purposes of
   Guidelines Sec. 4A1.1(e).
