Summary
This legal document is a court opinion from case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, filed on April 16, 2021. The court concludes that perjury charges against the defendant, Maxwell, are legally tenable and can be presented to a jury. However, the court rules that these perjury charges must be severed and tried separately from the Mann Act counts to avoid undue prejudice to the defendant, citing potential issues with admitting evidence of other acts and the risk of disqualifying Maxwell's chosen counsel.
