182221P.pdf 07/22/2019 United States v. Scott Harry
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2221
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Dog sniff of defendant's truck was supported
by reasonable suspicion and did not impermissibly extend the traffic stop;
no error in admitting prior bad acts evidence under Rule 404(b) as the
evidence served the legitimate non-propensity purpose of proving knowledge
and intent; in any event, any error in admitting the evidence was harmless
in light of the strength of the government's case; the district court did
not err in refusing to admit certain bad acts evidence against defendant's
passenger on the ground that it was too remote in time.
