How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that an eight-level increase in Defendant’s base offense level did not constitute extraordinary circumstances warranting a heightened standard proof
• recognizing that similarity is necessary to be “probative of intent rather than mere propensity”
• holding that evidence relevant “to show a pattern of operation that would suggest intent 9 and that tends to undermine the defendant’s innocent explanation” is admissible under Rule 404(b) (internal quotations omitted)
• upholding trial court's admission of expert witness testimony regarding the behavior and characteristics of sex offenders, which included a description of the \grooming\ process
• affirming district court’s admission of uncharged child pornography photographs found in the defendant’s home for the purpose of proving the defendant’s possession and intent
• noting evidence of a defendant’s other bad acts must be “sufficient to support a jury finding that the defendant committed the other crime or act”
