This document is a page from a legal filing in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), likely submitted by the defense. It contains an excerpt from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court opinion regarding Bill Cosby, detailing former DA Bruce Castor's testimony that he intentionally issued a press release in 2005 declining to prosecute Cosby to prevent him from invoking the Fifth Amendment in a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand. The document highlights Castor's strategy to 'set up the dominoes' to force Cosby to testify civilly by removing the threat of criminal prosecution.
