   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1657
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bright and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in rejecting 
   defendant's proposed instructions outlining three defense theories as the 
   instructions given to the jury covered the reasonable doubt and 
   credibility issues raised in the proposed instructions and he was allowed 
   to argue the theories in his closing argument; evidence was sufficient to 
   support defendant's conviction for sexual abuse of a person incapable on 
   consenting; evidence was sufficient to show the crime occurred in Indian 
   country; district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding evidence 
   of a second man's sex abuse conviction as defendant failed to present any 
   evidence that the man had access to the victim and an opportunity to 
   commit the offense.
