   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-4165
   District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Arnold and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
   convictions for aggravated sexual abuse of a child and assault;
   extinguishing a cigarette on a three year old could inflict serious bodily
   harm and the jury's finding that the cigarette was a dangerous weapon
   would not be overturned; similarly, the jury's finding that the cigarette
   incident was sufficient to support a conviction for assault resulting in
   serious bodily injury is affirmed; admission of child victim's inconsistent
   prior statements was proper under Rule 807; other challenges to
   admission of various statements rejected.
