1 conduct that occurs solely in New Mexico, travels to and from
2 New Mexico, solely in New Mexico cannot form the basis for a
3 violation of New York law --
4 THE COURT: Again, using your language, cannot form a
5 basis, would suggest it is irrelevant. I'll say that is wrong
6 as a legal matter, number 1. Number 2, you didn't seek to
7 exclude that testimony, nor did you seek a limiting instruction
8 with respect to that testimony, and I think that was quite ripe
9 for all of the reasons we've articulated.
10 MR. EVERDELL: Yes. Although, I would point out we
11 did, in the charging conference, request the inclusion of
12 travel from Florida to New York to make clear that that was the
13 required facts to be proven for those counts.
14 In any event, I think this is a time that calls for a
15 supplemental instruction. I understand the Court has
16 rejected --
17 THE COURT: I'm not going to give them an incorrect
18 supplemental instruction.
19 MR. EVERDELL: If the Court thinks the instruction
20 that was proposed is incorrect, we can certainly work to draft
21 a correct one. I think the jury is saying that they may
22 convict Ms. Maxwell on Count Four based on conduct that solely
23 relates to New Mexico. I am not saying it is irrelevant. What
24 I am saying is if all they had -- which is what I think the note
25 is saying -- is travel to and from New Mexico and alleged sexual
