This document is a jury instruction (No. 39) from a legal case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on December 18, 2021. It explains the legal doctrine of "conscious avoidance" or "willful blindness," instructing the jury that a defendant's deliberate act of ignoring a high probability of criminal activity can be treated as the legal equivalent of knowledge. This allows the jury to find that the defendant acted "knowingly" even without direct proof of their awareness.
