And that, precisely, was the agreement or understanding. Castor made the promise with the intention that it would eliminate Cosby's ability to claim his 5th amendment protection during the civil case. Whether Castor conspired with the defendant or not, his promise forced Cosby to testify against himself and secured a verdict for the victim.
So either we believe Castor had an agreement with the victim, likely unwritten and possibly unspoken, to drop the criminal case in a way that forced Cosby to testify in the civil case or we believe Castor made the promise for absolutely no reason at all.
We have no way of knowing what Castor's motivation was but assuming he was not entirely a fool, he must have had some plan for why he made the promise.
