THE COURT: Yes, that's on my to-do list today, this
morning, which is to give you my view of the limiting
instruction, which I can do now.
So we last talked about this at the November 23rd
conference, and I think the defense agreed with the limiting
instruction. The government had suggested changes, which I
rejected, but I understood the government's position that it
wasn't fully accurate as stated, and that's because of
complications around New Mexico law, potentially.
If we need to go into further issues that implicate
412, we can do sidebar, but I think for purposes of the
limiting instruction, here's my thinking, and I may not need
you to react immediately to it unless you want to, but you can
consider it and think about it.
I think an appropriate limiting instruction would be:
"I anticipate that you'll hear testimony from the next witness
about sexual conduct that she said she had with Mr. Epstein in
New Mexico. I instruct you that the sexual conduct she says
occurred with Mr. Epstein in New Mexico was not, quote, illegal
sexual activity, end quote, as the government has charged in
the indictment.
"I'll give you more instructions on the legal term,
illegal sexual activity, at the end of the case. However, to
the extent you conclude that her testimony is relevant to the
issues before you, you may consider it, but you may not
