Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 22-1426, likely the Ghislaine Maxwell appeal) dated February 28, 2023. Defense attorney Mr. Everdell is discussing a note from the jury with the Judge, arguing that the jurors are distinguishing between a flight *to* New Mexico and a flight *from* New Mexico regarding 'illicit sexual activity.' Everdell states there is no record of a flight from New Mexico and argues about the necessary 'significant or motivating purpose' of the travel required for a guilty verdict.

1 respect to the second element. Beyond that, we're not able to
2 parse the question because we find it confusing; so we think
3 the safest course is to refer the jurors to the comprehensive
4 instruction with respect to the second element.
5 THE COURT: Mr. Everdell.
6 MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, I think the answer to this
7 question is no, and I'll tell you the rationale for this.
8 As to the jurors' note, they've clearly separated out

10 from New Mexico. And in their minds, there still is a
11 question, it would seem, that the flight -- whatever the
12 purpose of the flight to New Mexico was, whether it was for
13 illicit sexual activity or not, that is different from the
14 purpose of the flight back from New Mexico. And they are
15 asking can she be found guilty solely on if there's some aiding

18 THE COURT: So the flight from New Mexico to where?
19 MR. EVERDELL: Well, there is no record of a flight
20 from New Mexico. But what they are saying, I think, in this
21 note is they are separating out in their minds the flight to
22 New Mexico versus whatever flight she may have taken from New
23 Mexico. And I would say based on the instructions in the
24 Court's instructions which the government pointed to, there has
25 to be -- the significant or motivating purpose of the travel
