Summary

This page is from a legal ruling in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The text discusses the legal complexities of trying Maxwell for both perjury and Mann Act charges simultaneously, specifically focusing on the potential conflict of interest and prejudice if her civil attorneys are called as witnesses. The Court weighs the burden of separate trials against the lack of overlap in evidence between the perjury and sex trafficking charges.
