Event Details

This document is a page from a legal opinion (Commonwealth v. Cosby) filed as an exhibit in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). It discusses the legal implications of a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute a suspect (Cosby) and whether such a decision binds future prosecutors. The text argues that prosecutors cannot induce a suspect to give up rights (like self-incrimination protections) by promising non-prosecution, only to reverse course later. This precedent was likely cited in the Maxwell case regarding the validity of the Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement.
