This document is the final page (80 of 80) of a legal filing in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on July 2, 2021. The content is an excerpt from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's opinion vacating Bill Cosby's conviction, focusing on the concept of 'fundamental fairness' regarding prosecutorial discretion and non-prosecution agreements. This precedent was likely submitted by the defense to argue regarding the validity of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) previously granted to Jeffrey Epstein.

This document is a page from a Pennsylvania Supreme Court opinion (Commonwealth v. Cosby) written by Justice Wecht, decided on June 30, 2021. While the text concerns the prosecution of Bill Cosby and District Attorney Bruce Castor's 2005 decision not to prosecute due to lack of evidence, the header indicates this document was filed as an exhibit (Document 310-1) in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, which is the federal criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The Cosby case was likely cited in the Maxwell proceedings as a legal precedent regarding the validity of non-prosecution agreements.
