Summary
This court transcript from August 10, 2022, captures a legal argument made outside the presence of the jury. Attorney Ms. Sternheim objects to a statement made by opposing counsel, Ms. Moe, during closing arguments. The core of the dispute is whether a massage table's origin in California is sufficient to prove an effect on interstate commerce, a key element of the charges, with Ms. Sternheim arguing that this interpretation is incorrect.

8 THE COURT: Any matters to take up?
9 MS. COMEY: No, your Honor.
10 MS. STERNHEIM: One brief matter, Judge.
11 THE COURT: Okay.
12 MS. STERNHEIM: And I preface this by saying that I
13 haven't had an opportunity to research it, but during the
14 closing argument, Ms. Moe indicated that because a massage
15 table came from California, that affects interstate commerce.
16 It is not my understanding that that is accurate. If that were
17 the case, then any dwelling that contained any property that
18 had come out of state would have affected interstate commerce.
19 There is no evidence that the table was purchased, when it was
20 purchased, and whether it was purchased in connection with the
21 offenses charged. It is unlike the cases where property is
22 stolen, and that property is for resale and affects interstate
23 commerce. This is not that situation, and I think that the
24 statement is incorrect.
25 THE COURT: Application?
