A reticent witness may withhold crucial information during a trial, leading to incomplete evidence and potentially skewing the jury's perception of the case. Their reluctance to testify or provide full details can prevent the prosecution from effectively establishing guilt or innocence. This silence can create reasonable doubt, undermining the integrity of the judicial process and allowing potentially guilty parties to evade accountability. Ultimately, their reticence can compromise the pursuit of truth and justice.
