“in the latter months of October, November, and December 1988. " Oden asserts that the evidence as to when the alleged offenses occurred is crucial since, without sufficient proof of such, (1) the jury may have convicted him for offenses which occurred outside that time frame, and (2) his due process right to prepare an adequate defense was violated. At trial, the government called two witnesses: the victim and the defendant's girlfriend. Defendant asserts that the testimony of the victim regarding the date of the offenses was contradictory and inexact and therefore insufficient to support his conviction. We note, however, that "[c]hildren are less likely to distinguish dates and time with specificity.”
