United States Eighth Circuit

A sentence for knowing receipt of child pornography is affirmed over a claim that it was not substantively reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances of defendant's case, including his blindness and other medical conditions, his remorse, his vulnerability to attack in prison, and his history of being a law-abiding family man who had played a positive role in the lives of others.
