U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-1544
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence of prior acts of
sexual abuse was properly admitted as it revealed a pattern of abuse quite
similar to that alleged in this case; evidence was sufficient to show
defendant knowingly abused the minor victim; sentence was not
unreasonable, and the record showed the court considered the factors
defendant argued weighed in favor of a lighter sentence.
