U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2585
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court erred in granting
defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal based on its conclusion
that no reasonable juror could find beyond a reasonable doubt that
defendant intentionally assaulted his ten-month old son during a
ten-minute period when they alone; the circumstantial evidence, including
defendant's behavior after the incident, and the medical testimony were
sufficient for a reasonable jury to conclude that the infant suffered a
non-accidental acceleration-deceleration injury in the ten-minute period
he was alone with the defendant.
