Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: David W. Camp, CAMP & CAMP, PLLC, Jackson, Tennessee, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Erin S. Shaw, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Detroit, Michigan, for Appellee.

Judge(s): STRANCH, BUSH, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judge. A jury found Matthew Mercer-Kinser guilty of his second child pornography crime. On appeal, he claims insufficient evidence supported his conviction, that the district court admitted unfairly prejudicial evidence, and that the child pornography statute is unconstitutionally overbroad, both facially and as applied to him. We reject each argument, so we AFFIRM his conviction for the knowing receipt of child pornography.
