State v. McCollum
green
2 sentences2014The McCollum court explicitly rejected the notion that Rule 6 grants immunity only to the witness who appears pursuant to a subpoena requested by the district attorney general, finding such an interpretation to be “illogical, restrictive, and violative of the very essence of the rule.” Id. 2014The court continued, “Were we to apply [the immunity protection of Rule 6] only when the witness was subpoenaed at the request of the district attorney general, . . . immunity could easily be subverted by ensuring that the official request for a subpoena came from a source other than the district attorney general[,]” providing “a mechanism for evading the requirements of fair play and due process.” Id. | 1 | 2014–2014 |
