Witness Tampering

Witness tampering refers to illegal actions aimed at influencing, threatening, or persuading a person set to testify in a legal proceeding. It includes attempts to convince a witness to change their testimony, remain silent, or provide false information. This behavior undermines the justice system by compromising the integrity of evidence and can lead to serious criminal charges for those involved. Protecting witnesses is crucial to ensure that trials are fair and that the truth is presented in court.
