Summary
This document is an excerpt from a legal opinion (likely the PA Supreme Court ruling in Commonwealth v. Cosby) filed as an exhibit in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The text argues that Bill Cosby's due process rights were violated by D.A. Castor's promise not to prosecute, which compelled Cosby to testify in a civil suit. The court concludes that the only appropriate remedy is to discharge Cosby and bar future prosecution, establishing a legal precedent presumably being used by Maxwell's defense regarding her own non-prosecution agreement arguments.
