This legal document, page 15 of a filing dated November 1, 2024, argues that the legal precedent in 'Annabi' is inconsistent with U.S. Supreme Court rulings. It cites the cases of 'Santobello' (1971) and 'Giglio' (1972) to support the principle that a prosecutor's office functions as a single entity for the government, and therefore, promises made by one prosecutor (such as in plea or immunity agreements) are binding on others, even across different districts.
