10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Case 22-1426, Document 58_02/28/2023, 3475901, Page33 of 221 A-233 LCSCMAXT 3150 can be relevant to an intent to transport to New York to engage in sexual activity under the age of 17, I think. I think this is the sane basic discussion that we've had. So, in addition to my reasoning yesterday, I think the proposal mde by the defense is wrong. I continue to not know howto parse the jury's question exactly, other than to knowthat they are asking about Count Four, the defense's original suggestion to just point to the motivating factor I rejected language or to say no. To say no, I think, was the wrong course, because I don't understand the question well enough to be able to say no. Pointing to just the motivating factor language I think was unhelpful because, really, the point is to remnd them of the whole instruction, including that it's a violation of New York penal lawthat's charged and is the illegal sexual activity that they're considering. So, for those reasons, I amin the same place. I did want to mke a little bit of an additional record regarding my extending the deliberations by an hour, the instructions that I gave yesterday regarding that slightly extended schedule I asked the jury to mke themselves available to deliberate until at least 6:00 today, which is a one-hour extension of what's largely been our schedule. Although, it was until 6 o'clock, I think, on the first night of SOUTHERN DI STRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00020859
