This legal document, a page from a court filing, discusses whether a constructive amendment to an indictment occurred. The court concludes that evidence presented by the Government, including a witness named Jane's testimony, and a subsequent jury note did not constitute a constructive amendment. The document affirms the District Court's jury instructions regarding Count Four of the Indictment, finding they correctly captured the 'core of criminality' and were not in error.
This legal document is a court filing from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, dated April 29, 2022. It addresses the Defendant's argument that her conviction was based on a 'constructive amendment' to the indictment, because a jury note suggested they found her guilty of intending a crime in New Mexico, rather than New York as charged. The court refutes this claim, concluding there is no 'substantial likelihood' that the Defendant was convicted of an offense different from the one in the indictment.
