• concluding that the atmosphere was not police dominated in part because “[c]ommunication between the agents and [the defendant] consisted of two-way questioning”
• concluding that agents did not use strong- arm or deceptive tactics when they were candid about the crime that the defendant was suspected of committing and asked “straightforward questions”
• deciding that because the suspect “was extremely friendly and cooperative during the interview” and “offered to show agents which of his two computers contained child pornography,” the suspect had voluntarily acquiesced to questioning
• finding an interview non-custodial where the defendant was friendly and cooperative during the interview and voluntarily acquiesced to questioning
• finding a defendant was not in custody when nine agents executed a search warrant and two of those nine agents conducted an interview
• finding questioning by two (2) out of nine (9) officers present during the execution of a search warrant did not establish that interview was police dominated
