United States v. Glassgow, No. 11-2611 (8th Cir. 2012)

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction; (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the images of child pornography into evidence; (3) the district court did not err in imposing the enhancements; and (4) the sentence was reasonable.
