Summary

This document is page 6 of a legal filing (Document 647, filed March 11, 2022) in the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues that the jury may have erroneously convicted Maxwell on Counts One, Three, and Four based on a finding that she intended sexual activity to occur in New Mexico, rather than New York as required by law. The text cites a 'Jury Note' (Court Exhibit #15) as evidence that the jury was confused about the location requirement and asserts the Court failed to correct this misunderstanding.

"the Jury Note laid bare that the jury was confused about that element and had the mistaken belief that if it found that Ms. Maxwell intended for Jane to engage in sexual activity in New Mexico... it could convict Ms. Maxwell on Count Four without finding that she intended Jane to engage in sexual activity in New York."
