U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1887
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Western
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The instruction on the first charge in the
indictment - sexual touching of the minor's genitalia - was plain error,
but it did not affect defendant's substantial rights, and he was not
entitled to reversal of the verdict; evidentiary challenges rejected; the
evidence was sufficient to support defendant's sexual abuse convictions.
