Summary

This document is a page from a legal opinion (likely the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision in Commonwealth v. Cosby) filed as an exhibit in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE). It discusses the legal insufficiency of a 'press release' issued by D.A. Castor to grant immunity to Bill Cosby without court permission. The text cites Pennsylvania statutes regarding witness immunity and highlights the inconsistency of Castor's testimony regarding his intent.
