United States v. George Thunderhawk
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
LOKEN, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted George Thunderhawk of abusive sexual contact of a child under 12 years of age in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2244(a)(5). The district court 1 sentenced him to 41 months in prison. Thunderhawk appeals, arguing the court erred in not suppressing his allegedly involuntary confessions, in instructing the jurors to draw reasonable inferences from their experience and common sense, in denying two motions for mistrial based on improper closing arguments, and in committing three sentencing errors. We affirm.
