transactional immunity

Transactional immunity is a legal protection that prevents a person from being prosecuted for crimes related to a particular transaction or event they are asked to testify about. If granted this immunity, the individual cannot be charged or prosecuted for offenses connected to that specific transaction, even if they were involved in illegal activities. This type of immunity encourages honest testimony in legal proceedings, especially in cases involving others' crimes, by removing the risk of self-incrimination related to the covered actions.
