United States First Circuit

Conviction for knowing possession of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 2252(a)(4)(B) is affirmed where: 1) evidence was sufficient to convict; 2) the district court's willful blindness instruction did not confuse or mislead the jury and therefore was not in error; 3) defendant was not entitled to the section 2252(c) affirmative defense or the inconsistent mental state instructions for which he argued.
