		<description><![CDATA[Deliberately Avoiding the Truth to Deny Criminal Knowledge

By Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

What is an “ostrich instruction?”

Also known as a “willful blindness” or “deliberate indifference” instruction in many federal circuits, an ostrich instruction is a jury instruction given when a criminal defendant claims a lack of guilty knowledge about the crime but there is some evidence the defendant deliberately elected to remain ignorant to avoid confirmation. Put succinctly, an ostrich instruction is generally given in cases where defendants deliberately close their eyes to the truth. It is not routinely used in federal online solicitation cases filed under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), which prohibits the knowing persuasion, inducement, enticement or coercion of a minor under 18 years of age to engage in prostitution or other illegal sexual activity.]]></description>
