It is not enough to waive prosecution, without a court order,
because in principle some future prosecutor could prosecute unless
barred by res judicata. On another point, there is constitutional authority to require one to testify, but not to take an oath or affirmation. Without the oath, he would be subject to laws against fraud but not against perjury. On 08/17/2012 07:03 PM, Daniel D.

I.e. if immunity is offered they can force you to speak. -- Jon ---------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society http://constitution.org 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322 twitter.com/lex_rex Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------- |
