View

This document is a page from a legal filing in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), specifically citing the Commonwealth v. Cosby case regarding District Attorney Bruce Castor's 2005 decision not to prosecute Bill Cosby. The text details Castor's reasoning, citing Andrea Constand's delay in reporting, inconsistencies in her statements, lack of forensic evidence found at the Cheltenham residence, and her continued contact with Cosby after the alleged assault. It notes that the pills provided by Cosby were confirmed to be Benadryl.
