United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for possession of child pornography are affirmed where: 1) the agents who performed the search at issue had an objective, good faith belief under United States v. Leon that their search was legal; 2) the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support the finding that defendant knowingly possessed the images of child pornography; and 3) the district court did not err by applying the enhancement based on the evidence that there were well over 100 separate images on defendant's computer and flash drive.
