activity that occurred in New Mexico, that wouldn't be a
sufficient basis to convict on Count Four or Count Two because
it requires an intent to violate New York law, and you can't
violate this section of New York law in New Mexico.
So if that's all they're considered on a basis to
convict on Count Four and Count Two, then that would be
insufficient and improper, and that's why I think a
supplemental instruction that clarifies that point is warranted
in this case, but I understand the Court has rejected that.
And that's all.
THE COURT: I think the instruction is correct that I
referred them to. The reading of the note that you've
suggested, I have no idea if that's what the jury is asking or
many other plausible readings, and what you've proposed, as you
just indicated, would be incorrect. So, I think that's why
precisely we sent them back to the charge.
Anything else?
MR. EVERDELL: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: As I said, we'll see where we are at the
end of the day, but in light of the variant, my concern about
interruption of trial, given the increasing daily risk of
exposure to either a juror or trial participant requiring
quarantine, it is time to think to have the jurors make plans
to continue deliberating until a verdict is reached.
I will wait until we hear from the jury, otherwise
