Summary
This document is a court transcript from a case filed on August 10, 2022, detailing a legal argument about jury instructions. An unnamed speaker contends that a specific instruction on causation for terms like 'persuasion' and 'inducement' would confuse the jury and is not required by precedent from the Broxmeyer case. In response, Mr. Everdell argues that such an instruction would not heighten the level of proof but would simply clarify the meaning of the words as they are used in the statute.

Quote #2
"I don't think this is heightening the level of proof. I think this is simply -- the opinion is simply explaining what is required by those words, "persuasion," "inducement," "enticement," and those words are the exact same words that are used in the statute..."Source
— MR. EVERDELL
(Responding to the previous speaker, arguing that the proposed instruction clarifies, rather than elevates, the statutory requirements.)
