This document is the conclusion page of a legal motion filed on January 25, 2021, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues that the Court should sever the Perjury Counts (Counts 5-6) from the Mann Act Counts (Counts 1-4) pursuant to Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 8(a) and 14. The defense contends that a joint trial would unfairly prejudice the jury against Maxwell by attacking her credibility regarding 'salacious topics,' potentially causing a conviction on the sex trafficking charges based on character attacks rather than evidence.
