   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2579
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Judge Shepherd, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   Wollman, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Items were properly seized under the
   plain view doctrine as the officers had information that the video camera
   and cell phone had been used to produce child pornography and the
   incriminating nature of the items was immediately apparent; district court
   did not abuse its discretion in denying chain-of-custody objection to
   admission of the cell phone; challenges to jury instructions rejected; the
   First Amendment does not require a reasonable-mistake-of-age defense to
   charges of producing child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec.
   2251(a);in light of the fact that the district court questioned the jury 
   panel about their ability to remain impartial after one member of panel 
   related the story of her own daughter's kidnaping and forced prostitution, 
   and removed the juror and four jurors who reacted emotionally, it did not
   abuse its discretion in refusing to also declare a mistrial; guilty verdict
   rendered any possible error in the grand jury indictment process harmless;
   evidence was sufficient to support convictions for transporting a minor
   across state lines, producing child pornography, and being a felon in
   possession of a firearm.
