This document is a page from a legal brief (likely related to the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, given the case number 1:20-cr-00330) discussing legal precedents involving prosecutorial discretion and immunity. It cites Supreme Court cases such as Wayte v. United States and Imbler v. Pachtman to argue that prosecutors have broad discretion in charging decisions and absolute immunity regarding those decisions, including the decision *not* to charge. The document concludes by introducing a section on plea agreement promises of leniency towards third parties, which is relevant to the non-prosecution agreement in the Epstein case.
This document is an excerpt from a law review article (103 Minn. L. Rev.) discussing the oversight of declination decisions in state justice systems compared to the federal system. It highlights the lack of administrative and judicial review for state prosecutors' charging decisions and details the limited exceptions and historical context through extensive footnotes citing case law.
