Interstate Call

Lauro is charged with knowingly using a telephone in Interstate Commerce for purposes of transacting bets or wagers. Telephone records show the call was placed interstate from Baborian in New Haven, Connecticut, to Lauro in Rhode Island, but Lauro denies knowing that it was an interstate call. At trial the only evidence of knowledge was testimony that Lauro, who admittedly was in Rhode Island, spoke to Baborian's father in New Haven, Connecticut at 6:36 p.m. and the father said that Baborian was with him in New Haven at that time, but was driving to Rhode Island and would be calling Lauro shortly. At 6:51 p.m. , Lauro got Baborian's call.

The prosecutor asked the court to take judicial notice (1) that the driving time from New Haven, Connecticut to Rhode Island is more than 15 minutes and (2 ) that therefore Lauro must have known by Baborian's call was from out of state. What ruling?
