U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-3237
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Kelly and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's convictions for sexual abuse, committed in Indian Country, and
witness tampering; no error in admitting victim's statement to the FBI as
it was admissible under Rule 801(d)(1) as a prior consistent statement
offered specifically to rebut the defense theory that the victim had
fabricated her claim of sexual abuse; there was no fatal variance between
the indictment for witness tampering and the evidence submitted at trial
because defendant's later statements were not offered as substance
evidence but rather as evidence of consciousness of guilt.
