U.S. v. Loughry

In prosecution on series of child pornography charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in allowing jury to view properly admitted pictures of child pornography that had been collected from defendant’s residence that resembled pictures of child pornography at issue in charged offenses. Defendant did not challenge admissibility of said pictures under Rules 404(b) and 414, and while defendant argued that submission of pictures to jury for purposes of deliberation on charges was unduly prejudicial because of inflammatory nature of said pictures, jurors are generally entitled to examine admitted exhibits. Moreover, instant pictures possessed great deal of probative value, since they represented strong evidence that defendant was named user, who advertised and distributed child pornography on web site that formed basis of charged offenses.
