Maxwell is charged with crimes related to allegedly procuring underage girls who later were sexually abused by eccentric investment advisor Jeffrey Epstein, as well as with perjury.
Her lawyer says over-management of Maxwell by guards in the Brooklyn federal jail, in an apparent effort to keep her from killing herself while locked up as Epstein did, are impacting her stamina and effectiveness in preparing her defense and conferring with counsel.
