U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2759
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges
Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's conviction for involuntary manslaughter as the government
established he was grossly negligent; the district court did not plainly
err by not giving an instruction that actual knowledge is an essential
element of the offense that is separate from gross negligence, as the
instructions as a whole adequately advised the jury of the essential
elements of the offense and the government's burden.
