Summary
This document appears to be a page from a legal filing in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) that references the Bill Cosby case as legal precedent. It details the testimony of former DA Bruce Castor regarding his 2005 decision not to prosecute Cosby, arguing that this was done to strip Cosby of Fifth Amendment privileges and aid the victim (Constand) in a civil suit. The text highlights a 2015 email from Castor to DA Risa Vetri Ferman asserting that he had bound the Commonwealth against future state prosecution.
