Summary

This document is page 76 of a legal filing submitted on July 2, 2021, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The text is an excerpt from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court opinion (J-100-2020) overturning Bill Cosby's conviction, specifically discussing the binding nature of prosecutorial promises and due process. It appears to be submitted by the defense as legal precedent to argue for the enforcement of a non-prosecution agreement (likely the Epstein NPA).
