Hindering prosecution refers to actions taken to obstruct or interfere with the legal process of prosecuting a criminal case. This can include behaviors such as tampering with evidence, intimidating witnesses, or providing false information to law enforcement. Such actions are often considered criminal offenses themselves and can lead to additional charges against the individual attempting to hinder prosecution. The goal of these actions is typically to evade legal consequences for the original crime.
