Witness protection

Witness protection is security provided to a threatened person providing testimonial evidence to the justice system, including defendants and other clients, before, during, and after a trial, usually by police. While a witness may only require protection until the conclusion of a trial, some witnesses are provided with a new identity and may live out the rest of their lives under government protection.

Witness protection is usually required in trials against organized crime, where law enforcement sees a risk for witnesses to be intimidated by colleagues of defendants. It is also used at war crime, espionage and national security issues trials.

Given that Breen was the primary attorney in the prior investigation ... his defense of his client‘s conduct in that investigation will necessarily implicate his own credibility and be fraught with ethical issues,‘‘ Garcia said.
