United States Eighth Circuit

A ruling prohibiting the government from publishing to the jury images of alleged child pornography found on defendant's computers in its case against him for possessing, distributing, and publishing notices of child pornography, is reversed where the district court abused its discretion in refusing to allow the government to publish a representative sample of the images found on defendant's computers.
