Proof

Write H=GBn\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{B}_n and define Φ:ΩΩ×Rn\Phi:\Omega\to\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n by Φ(ω)=(ω,X(ω))\Phi(\omega)=(\omega,X(\omega)).

Measurability of Φ\Phi, and claim 1. The class of sets EΩ×RnE\subseteq\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n with Φ1(E)F\Phi^{-1}(E)\in\mathcal{F} is a σ\sigma-algebra, since preimages commute with complements and countable unions. It contains every measurable rectangle G×BG\times B with GGG\in\mathcal{G} and BBnB\in\mathcal{B}_n, because Φ1(G×B)=GX1(B)F\Phi^{-1}(G\times B)=G\cap X^{-1}(B)\in\mathcal{F}. Since the rectangles generate H\mathcal{H}, the map Φ\Phi is measurable from (Ω,F)(\Omega,\mathcal{F}) to (Ω×Rn,H)(\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{H}). Hence ωΨ(Φ(ω))\omega\mapsto\Psi(\Phi(\omega)) is F\mathcal{F}-measurable: for every real cc, its superlevel set is Φ1({Ψ>c})\Phi^{-1}(\{\Psi>c\}). This is claim 1.

The law of Φ\Phi is a product. Let PGP|_{\mathcal{G}} denote the set function PP considered on G\mathcal{G} only; then (Ω,G,PG)(\Omega,\mathcal{G},P|_{\mathcal{G}}) is a probability space, since PG()=0P|_{\mathcal{G}}(\emptyset)=0, PG(Ω)=1P|_{\mathcal{G}}(\Omega)=1, and countable additivity is inherited, disjoint sequences in G\mathcal{G} being disjoint sequences in F\mathcal{F} with union in G\mathcal{G}. Let π=PGμX\pi=P|_{\mathcal{G}}\otimes\mu_X be the product measure on H\mathcal{H}, both factors being probability measures, hence σ\sigma-finite. Let PΦP_\Phi be the image measure of PP under Φ\Phi, likewise a probability measure on H\mathcal{H}. For GGG\in\mathcal{G} and BBnB\in\mathcal{B}_n, PΦ(G×B)=P(GX1(B))=P(G)P(X1(B))=π(G×B),P_\Phi(G\times B)=P\bigl(G\cap X^{-1}(B)\bigr)=P(G)\,P\bigl(X^{-1}(B)\bigr)=\pi(G\times B), the middle equality by the independence of G\mathcal{G} and σ(X)\sigma(X), the event X1(B)X^{-1}(B) belonging to σ(X)\sigma(X). The measurable rectangles form a π\pi-system, since (G×B)(G×B)=(GG)×(BB)(G\times B)\cap(G'\times B')=(G\cap G')\times(B\cap B'), they generate H\mathcal{H}, and PΦP_\Phi and π\pi have equal total mass 11; by claim 1 of Uniqueness of Finite Measures on a Generating Pi-System and the Density of the Exponential Law, PΦ=πP_\Phi=\pi.

Claims 2 and 3. The Tonelli theorem, applied to Ψ\Psi on the product of the probability spaces (Ω,G,PG)(\Omega,\mathcal{G},P|_{\mathcal{G}}) and (Rn,Bn,μX)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{B}_n,\mu_X) (both σ\sigma-finite), gives: every section uΨ(ω,u)u\mapsto\Psi(\omega,u) is Bn\mathcal{B}_n-measurable; the map ωRnΨ(ω,u)dμX(u)\omega\mapsto\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi(\omega,u)\,d\mu_X(u) is G\mathcal{G}-measurable, which is claim 2; and Ω×RnΨdπ=Ω(RnΨ(ω,u)dμX(u))dPG(ω).\int_{\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi\,d\pi=\int_{\Omega}\Bigl(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi(\omega,u)\,d\mu_X(u)\Bigr)dP|_{\mathcal{G}}(\omega). By the change of variables for the image measure and PΦ=πP_\Phi=\pi, E[Ψ(,X())]=ΩΨΦdP=Ω×RnΨdPΦ=Ω×RnΨdπ.\mathbb{E}\bigl[\Psi(\cdot,X(\cdot))\bigr]=\int_{\Omega}\Psi\circ\Phi\,dP=\int_{\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi\,dP_\Phi=\int_{\Omega\times\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi\,d\pi. It remains to observe that the integral of the G\mathcal{G}-measurable map Ξ(ω)=RnΨ(ω,u)dμX(u)\Xi(\omega)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\Psi(\omega,u)\,d\mu_X(u) with respect to PGP|_{\mathcal{G}} equals its integral with respect to PP: taking the nondecreasing simple functions sm=p=1m2m2m1{Ξp2m}s_m=\sum_{p=1}^{m2^m}2^{-m}\,\mathbf{1}_{\{\Xi\ge p2^{-m}\}}, which are G\mathcal{G}-measurable and converge pointwise to Ξ\Xi, each smdPG=smdP\int s_m\,dP|_{\mathcal{G}}=\int s_m\,dP since PGP|_{\mathcal{G}} agrees with PP on the G\mathcal{G}-measurable level sets, and the Monotone Convergence Theorem applied on both sides gives the equality. Combining the three displays yields claim 3.
