Event Details

This document is a filing from the United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell case (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on July 2, 2021. The text specifically discusses the legal history of *Commonwealth v. Cosby*, detailing how a former District Attorney (Castor) issued a non-prosecution declaration to force Bill Cosby to testify in a civil suit without Fifth Amendment protection. It describes how subsequent District Attorneys (Ferman and Steele) reopened the case and charged Cosby, leading to a habeas corpus petition based on the alleged non-prosecution agreement—a legal precedent likely being cited by Maxwell's defense regarding her own non-prosecution agreement.
