U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-3467
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Northern
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. The evidence was sufficient
to support the defendant's convictions for aggravated sexual abuse and
witness tampering; argument that the charges against the two victims were
improperly joined is rejected; argument that the charges should have been
severed is rejected; no error in permitting the government to enter
evidence of defendant's prior conviction for sexual assault as it was
committed in a similar manner, and the admission of the evidence was not
unfairly prejudicial; the district court considered the 3553(a) factors,
and the sentence it imposed was not substantively unreasonable.
