This document is a page from a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) that references the Bill Cosby case as legal precedent regarding non-prosecution agreements. It contains an email from former D.A. Bruce Castor to D.A. Risa Ferman dated September 23, 2015. In the email, Castor explains that in 2005 he intentionally promised not to prosecute Cosby criminally to strip him of Fifth Amendment protections, thereby forcing him to testify in a civil deposition for the benefit of the victim, Andrea Constand.
