I have instructed you on circumstantial evidence and that it\n6 involves inferring a fact based on other facts, your reason, and common sense.\n7 What is an \"inference\"? What does it mean to \"infer\" something? An inference is not a\n8 suspicion or a guess. It is a reasoned, logical decision to conclude that a disputed fact exists\n9 based on another fact that you are satisfied exists.\n10 There are times when different inferences may be drawn from facts, whether proven by\n11 direct or circumstantial evidence. The Government asks you to draw one set of inferences, while\n12 the defense asks you to draw another. It is for you, and you alone, to decide what inferences you\n13 will draw.\n14 The process of drawing inferences from facts in evidence is not a matter of guesswork or\n15 speculation. An inference is a deduction or conclusion that you, the jury, are permitted but not\n16 required to draw from the facts that have been established by either direct or circumstantial\n17 evidence. In drawing inferences, you should exercise your common sense.\n18 Therefore, while you are considering the evidence presented to you, you may draw, from\n19 the facts that you find to be proven, such reasonable inferences as would be justified in light of\n20 your experience.\n21 Some inferences, however, are impermissible. You may not infer that Ms. Maxwell is\n22 guilty of participating in criminal conduct if you find merely that she was present at the time the\n23 crime was being committed and had knowledge that it was being committed.\n\n61\n\nDOJ-OGR-00008600",
