   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2115
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and Gritzner, 
   District Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Defendant's case was pending 
   when amended criminal rules took effect, and under new Rule 12, his 
   assertion of a double-jeopardy defense was untimely; his challenge can 
   only be reviewed if he shows good cause, and his brief makes no attempt to 
   show good cause and the issue will not be reviewed; while certain photos 
   were improperly admitted because the government failed to show they 
   accurately depicted the scene at the relevant time, the admission of the 
   photos was harmless error; no error in denying defendant's motion for a 
   new trial which was based on claims that two witnesses were not credible 
   and that the court made an error, which it quickly corrected, in 
   instructing the jury that a witness faced no mandatory minimum 
   imprisonment due to his cooperation; evidence was sufficient to prove all 
   counts in this arson and fraud prosecution.
