Summary
This legal document from a court case, filed on February 11, 2022, details arguments over jury instructions concerning whether an offense must be a violation of New York law, even if events occurred in New Mexico. It highlights a specific note from the deliberating jury asking for clarification on Count Four, questioning if defendant Ms. Maxwell could be convicted for aiding a victim's (Jane's) return flight if the criminal intent was tied to the initial flight to New Mexico. The court declined to provide clarifying instructions, referring the jury back to the original charge.

Key Quotes (3)
"Annie only relates to the conspiracy counts, at least as to these Mann Act charges, and the jury is going to be instructed here that the relevant illegal sexual activity has to be the violation of the New York offense. So again, there’s no risk that the jury will think that the sexual contact that happened in New Mexico is something that on its own is sufficient to show the illegal sexual activity required by the statute."Source
— MR. ROHRBACH
(Arguing to the court about the scope of jury instructions regarding the location of the alleged crime.)

Quote #1
"Your Honor, these instructions do not put before the jury any violation of any New Mexico offense whatsoever above or below the age of consent, so I think there’s no risk that the jury is going to convict the defendant based on their concerns about a violation of a New York offense."Source
— MR. ROHRBACH
(Continuing his argument to the court about jury instructions to prevent conviction based on a New Mexico offense rather than a New York offense.)

Quote #2
"Under Count Four (4), if the defendant aided in the transportation of Jane’s return flight, but not the flight to New Mexico where/if the intent was for Jane to engage in sexual activity, can she be found guilty under the second element?"Source
— The Jury
(A note sent to the court during deliberations seeking clarification on the requirements for a conviction on the transportation count.)
