Granted immunity is a legal protection that prevents a witness from being prosecuted based on the information they provide during testimony or legal proceedings. This immunity is often offered in exchange for cooperation with law enforcement, encouraging witnesses to share potentially incriminating information without fear of self-incrimination. There are different types of immunity, such as transactional immunity, which covers all offenses related to the testimony, and use immunity, which only protects against the use of the testimony in prosecution.
