Mr. Pagliuca argues that the government, in its closing argument, misused evidence (Exhibit 52) by encouraging the jury to infer the truth of the matter contained within it, contrary to the court's limiting instruction. He requests a mistrial or, alternatively, a re-instruction to the jury.

Document Summary

This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, where an attorney, Mr. Pagliuca, argues for a mistrial. He contends that the government, during its closing argument, improperly used admitted evidence (Exhibit 52, pages from a book) to argue the truth of its contents, specifically to infer that Ms. Maxwell knew individuals were minors. Mr. Pagliuca asserts this violates the court's limiting instruction and, if a mistrial is not granted, asks the court to re-instruct the jury on the evidence's limited purpose.
