U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1034
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge and White,
District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant requested the felony murder and
child abuse instructions given by the court and could not now challenge
them on appeal; there was sufficient evidence for the jury to convict
defendant of felony murder of the child victim D.S.; defendant had
sufficient opportunity to raise doubt about another suspect's retraction
of his confession and it was not plain error to exclude his
cross-examination about a polygraph examiner's comment.
