Use immunity provides protection against the use of compelled testimony in prosecutions.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (A)

Use immunity shields the witness by preventing the government from using compelled testimony or any information derived from it to prosecute the witness. This allows questioning without self-incrimination concerns, since the testimony itself cannot be used in court. If the offense can be proven from independent evidence not tied to that compelled testimony, prosecutions can still proceed, but they cannot rely on the immunized testimony or its fruits. So the statement is correct: use immunity provides protection against the use of compelled testimony in prosecutions.
