   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2463
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant was not in custody at the time he 
   made incriminating statements; the statements were voluntary, and they 
   were admissible; the district court did not abuse its discretion by 
   admitting photos and a video of the crime scene, including the body of the 
   victim; the photos corroborated the testimony of the officers regarding 
   the location and state of the victim's body and tended to show the cause 
   of death; the district court did not err in instructing the jury on 
   liability for aiding and abetting a kidnapping resulting death or in 
   rejecting defendant's proposed instruction requiring the government to 
   prove that defendant knew in advance that death would result from the 
   victim's kidnapping; the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's 
   convictions for kidnapping resulting in death and conspiracy to commit 
   kidnapping.
