Platystemon posted:What’s the normal way to handle a witness pleading the fifth and then admitting to a murder? Short answer: If witness pleads the 5th, give the witness immunity. Then the witness has no 5th and can be forced to testify.

Nystral posted:But given the witness was jailed for contempt, isn’t that what likely happened? Yes, if an immunized witness fails to testify, they can be jailed for contempt until they decide to testify (at least until the trial is over, don't think you can keep them jailed during any appeals) The BIG loving problem here is that the judge and DA had a secret meeting with the witness and the witness's attorney after which the witness was again ready to testify.

Nystral posted:I don’t think this kind of gently caress up can be cured, so it’s a mistrial then? Can a GA appeals court step in and force the mistrial or do we all have to wait for the charade to conclude? I think it can be cured by giving the transcript of the ex parte hearing to the defense and giving the defense adequate time to prepare for additional cross examination based on information in the transcript. An appeals court is not going to step in without somebody asking them to, and how to ask them in the middle of trial is a georgia law question. In my jurisdiction, if the judge releases the transcript, there's probably no way. If the judge doesn't release the transcript, still probably not, but with a better chance of maybe. hobbesmaster posted:What I’m confused about is the murder thing. The witness earlier refused to testify because he might incriminate himself in a murder. The DA gave the witness immunity for the murder that the witness may have committed and the judge approved the grant of immunity - so that the witness could not claim the 5th and could be required to testify. (Young Thug's involvement in the murder is alleged to be renting the car used in the murder as one of the 191 RICO actions he and his co-defendants did) The witness then balked when it came time to testify, which prompted this secret hearing to force the witness to go ahead and testify.

shame on an IGA posted:The witness already had immunity and was held in contempt for pleading the fifth amendment to the question “how old are you?” And there is a well established process for dealing with that which does not involve excluding the defense counsel from his defendant's trial.
