U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2159
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bright and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
support defendant's conviction for assaulting a federal officer; defendant
had no knowledge of the officer's supposed reputation for violence and
the court did not err in refusing to admit such evidence with respect to
defendant's claim of self-defense; supervised release provision requiring
DNA sample was mentioned at sentencing, and there was no discrepancy
between the oral pronouncement of sentence and the judgment and
commitment order; drug testing provision was not plain error. Judge
Bright, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
