United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for transporting and attempting to transport child pornography in interstate commerce, and possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony, are affirmed where: 1) defendant entered his guilty plea knowingly and voluntarily; 2) defendant did not provide any evidence to support his claim of innocence; 3) the district court did not err in concluding that a video that had been emailed twice should be counted that way under U.S.S.G. section 2G2.2(b)(7); and 4) the district court clearly explained and adequately justified its intention to impose a 188 month sentence.
