U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1546
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Bright, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal Case - conviction. The district court's did not violate
defendant's rights under the Confrontation Clause by limiting cross-
examination of prior false allegations by victims because evidence was
too attenuated to provide more than minimal probative value. District
court did not err in disallowing testimony under Rule 403. District court
did not erred in releasing witness, who had since recanted, from
government subpoena. Motions to supplement the record are denied.
Judge Bright dissents.
