042206P.pdf   06/03/2005  United States  v.  Cyril S. Plumman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2206
   District of South Dakota   
Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not err in determining that defendant was not in custody at the time he was questioned by FBI agents and that his statement was admissible; second statement was made voluntarily and not as the result of any questioning, and it was admissible; Batson challenge rejected; admission of other bad acts evidence was proper under Rule 404(b); evidence was sufficient to support convictions for aggravated sexual abuse of minors; district court did not err in refusing to group the counts for sentencing purposes as the offenses occurred on different dates and must be treated separately under the applicable guidelines; applying Pirani's plain error analysis, the district court's statements at sentencing demonstrated a reasonable probability that the court would have imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme, and the case must be remanded for resentencing under Booker.
