Who cannot testify against a defendant?
In most states, the spouse. There are also certain professional or social relationships that are regarded as privileged... for example, attorney-client, doctor-patient, or priest-parishoner communications may be exempt from subpoena.Note that this does not mean that the person in question cannot testify against the defendant, it means they can't be forced to testify against the defendant. A spouse can choose to testify. The professional cases usually can't, but what they cannot testify about is limited. If the doctor saw the defendant standing over the murder victim with a bloody knife in his hand, for example, that's not a privileged communication and the fact that he happens to be the defendant's doctor is irrelevant.
