   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-4332
   District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Arnold and Lay, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction. District court properly denied motion to suppress statements made while in transport to courthouse that, while custodial, were not while under interrogation. Admission of evidence of state rape conviction was not an abuse of discretion under Rule 413(d)(2), as it did not constitute unfair prejudice and court issued a limiting instruction. Exclusion of Hepatitis B evidence of victim was proper as it did not rebut evidence of recent alternative sources of injury and was not sufficiently probative to be admissible. Exclusion of evidence of victims' prior false allegations of abuse was not an abuse of discretion because evidence was not false, was minimally probative, and did not raise Confrontation Clause issues. Convictions for sexual abuse and sexual abuse of a minor does not violate Double Jeopardy.
