USA v. Michael Lacey, et al, 22-10000 (9th Cir. Sep. 21, 2022)
Defendants argue that the government sought a mistrial in order to regroup and reorganize its case in light of (1) Defendants’ compelling arguments regarding specific intent and the First Amendment, (2) the trial judge’s pretrial ruling that escort services are legal, and (3) the government’s poor showing at trial up to that point.
Defendants’ arguments regarding specific intent and the First Amendment were of no surprise to the government; Defendants briefed these issues extensively throughout the motion-to-dismiss stage.
In response to these arguments, the trial judge had held that the indictment alleged facts that, “taken as true, establish [D]efendants had the specific intent to promote prostitution in violation of the Travel Act.” United States v. Lacey, 423 F. Supp.
Defendants have failed to show that their arguments in support of jury instructions on these issues were so convincing as to require the government to rethink its case.
The motion judge did not abuse her discretion by refusing to make counsel for the government explain as much in an evidentiary hearing.
