Summary
This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, discussing the admissibility of evidence related to a property transfer. One party presents land registry records and an attorney's files to show ownership passing from 'the O'Neills' to 'Ms. Maxwell' in the 1990s. An opposing attorney, Mr. Rohrbach, argues this evidence is overly confusing, involves complex British real estate law, and is irrelevant to when the defendant actually occupied the property, and would therefore prejudice the jury.

1 The first is the actual land registry records, which
2 are here, which show -- and I can pass them up if the Court
3 would like, which show the first ownership, which belongs to
4 the O'Neills as of '92; and then title passing to Ms. Maxwell
5 as of '97. That's here. There's also a land registry record
6 which shows the actual transfer of title which describes all of
7 this as well.
8 And then there are the records that are found in
9 Mr. Grumbridge's files, because he was the attorney who
10 represented Ms. Maxwell in this transaction, which include that
11 agreement for sale, because that's a private document, but it
12 exists in his files, it's still there. And Mr. Rooney has seen
13 it in his files in London. And he's prepared to testify to
14 that because he's here today. And a few other documents that
15 were in his files that relate to this sale of the property and
16 the transfer of title at that time.
17 THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Rohrbach.
18 MR. ROHRBACH: I think that the point Mr. Everdell
19 just made about how this is confusing and complicated
20 reinforces two of the government's arguments.
21 First of all, putting this confusing set of land
22 transfers and leaseholds that speaks to when the defendant took
23 ownership of the property would confuse the jury into having to
24 understand British real estate law and actually says nothing
25 about when she, in fact, occupied the property for the reasons
