"In particular, the defense's letter identifies no error in the instruction the Court referred the jury to nor could they. It was a correct legal instruction when the Court instructed the jury last week, it was a correct legal instruction when the Court referred the jury to it yesterday afternoon, and that it remains true."

the defense advanced yesterday, which the Court carefully
considered and rejected. Nothing has changed between then and

In particular, the defense's letter identifies no
