United States v. Terrell, No. 11-50602 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for one count of producing child pornography and sexually exploiting a child, and one count of possessing child pornography. The court held that the district court did not err in refusing to grant defendant's motion for acquittal because the government failed to introduce evidence showing that he knew or should have known that the pornographic images of the victim were produced on a camera or computer that traveled in interstate commerce; the district court did not err in denying his motion for acquittal because there was insufficient evidence; the district court did not err by instructing the jury in response to the jury's note; there was sufficient evidence presented at trial to show that he knowingly possessed images of child pornography; and the district court's response to the jury note at issue was not an incorrect statement of law. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
