"I think it's time to reiterate in the charge to them that Kate was over the age of consent and was not involved -- it cannot be considered illegal sexual activity, because this is where the illegal sexual activity is defined."

1 THE COURT: All right. Page 24, line 19, I'll adopt
2 that change. So instead of "the defendant," "Ms. Maxwell."
3 Just one moment.
4 Okay.
5 MR. EVERDELL: Okay. So the additional request is --
6 this is where the issue of the fact that Kate was above the age
7 of consent and about the fact that -- well, Annie's testimony
8 was not a violation of New York law. That's what the Court
9 gave the limiting instruction to the jury on. We think that it
10 is appropriate to incorporate those limiting instructions into
11 the jury charge and that this is the place where it should be
12 given. Because it's one thing to give the limiting instruction
13 at the time of the testimony -- that is what we asked for and
14 we appreciate the Court doing that -- but I think that they
15 need to be instructed again before they go into deliberations,
16 now having heard 12 plus days of testimony, that what those
17 considerations -- that testimony they are allowed to consider
18 for what purpose, because if they're given an instruction on
19 New York law, I think it's time to reiterate in the charge to
20 them that Kate was over the age of consent and was not
21 involved -- it cannot be considered illegal sexual activity,
22 because this is where the illegal sexual activity is defined.
23 And same with Annie. I have a proposed instruction to add
24 here, but it tracks the language of the limiting instruction
25 the Court gave, so I don't think it's adding any language. I
