Heading: jury instruction on sexual activity

Text: For his nineteenth point, Gardner reargues point number eighteen and adds that it was error to allow one of the witnesses from Illinois to testify as to having been raped during the episode in Illinois as she could not positively identify Gardner as the rapist. For his next point, Gardner argues that it was error to instruct the jury relative to the rape charge as there was insufficient evidence that Gardner had raped Sara McCurdyan argument dealt with to some degree in point number sixteen. In neither instance has Gardner provided us with convincing argument or with such citation of authority as would indicate that the points raised had any merit or were otherwise well taken. For that reason, and in light of our discussion on points sixteen and eighteen, respectively, we see no reason to address the arguments under this heading in any greater detail.
