(1) The district court correctly denied Defendant’s motion for directed verdict where witness testimony was not inherently improbable and there was sufficient evidence supporting verdict.

(3) The district court did not plainly err when it informed the jury that child sex abuse counts were first-degree felonies where court later instructed jury not to consider punishment.
