This legal document argues against including perjury counts in Ms. Maxwell's criminal trial. The author contends that doing so would force the relitigation of a complex and unresolved civil defamation case (dismissed in 2017), making the current trial unnecessarily long and confusing. Furthermore, it raises the issue that including these counts could force Ms. Maxwell's long-term lawyers to testify, potentially leading to their disqualification from the case.
