Anyhow, since the Cosby decision came from the PA Supreme Court, Ocelot II Jul 2021 #8

I concur with all of that. n/t Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #12

I read the PA Supreme Court opinion. Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #40

What surprised me was to be informed Tomconroy Jul 2021 #43

You have an admirer! Tomconroy Jul 2021 #49

Thanks - it was fun. n/t Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #50

I don't think it matters if the agreement was WITH her, if she relied on it to her detriment. Hamlette Jul 2021 #14

Nope. There are (generally) three elements to detrimental reliance Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #18

the deal was an agreement to not prosecute Epstein or any of his cronies. Hamlette Jul 2021 #19

Except she's never had a deal, ever obamanut2012 Jul 2021 #11

There was an article in today's NY Daily News Tomconroy Jul 2021 #15

If someone made that deal they are an idiot. n/m BradAllison Jul 2021 #16
