June 26, 2019, 5:34 pm

Andre Haymond was convicted of possessing child pornography. After serving a prison sentence of 38 months, and while on supervised release, Mr. Haymond was again found with what appeared to be child pornography.

A district judge, acting without a jury, found by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Haymond knowingly downloaded and possessed child pornography.

The Supreme Court held that only a jury, acting on proof beyond a reasonable doubt,may take a person’s liberty.
