064125P.pdf   11/01/2007  United States of America  v.  Duane Bercier
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-4125
   District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Arnold and Colloton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. While the evidence was sufficient to
   support defendant's conviction for aggravated sexual abuse and abusive
   sexual contact, the district court abused its discretion in admitting hearsay
   testimony by an examining physician recounting in considerable detail
   what the victim said in a hospital interview about the assault, including
   her assailant's identity, and portions of a hospital record containing the
   same hearsay; case remanded for a new trial.
