U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-2173
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Constitutional challenge
to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2251 rejected; admission of 26 uncharged photos was
proper as it corroborated the victims' testimony that defendant had taken
the pornographic photos and helped establish the victims' identities; no
error in admitting expert testimony on child abuse; 750 year sentence was
not unreasonable as it ensured that defendant would serve a life sentence.
