United States v. Knope

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided August 22, 2011No. 10-2824PublishedCited by 25 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

LEFKOW, District Judge.

Randall Joseph Knope was convicted of possession of child pornography and attempting to persuade or entice a minor to engage in a sexual act. Knope argues that the trial court committed reversible error by (1) denying his motion to suppress statements to the police and evidence seized from his home, (2) admitting evidence regarding his prior online chats with individuals who purported to be minors, and (3) denying certain requested jury instructions. We affirm Knope’s conviction.
