United States v. Ross, No. 15-1460 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of one count of possession of child pornography. Defendant appealed, arguing that the district court committed reversible error when it declined to view a limited number of images and videos found on Defendant’s computers that Defendant had sought to exclude from evidence on the basis that the images were of minimally probative value because Defendant was willing to stipulate that his computers contained child pornography. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion under Fed. R. Crim. P. 403 when it declined to view the challenged evidence before admitting these materials for the purpose of demonstrating Defendant’s knowledge.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on November 15, 2016.
