Question 14
The principal restriction of impeachment by the use of evidence of misconduct can result in a conviction of a witness. Explain this concept and give examples.
Impeaching the testimony of a witness may involve bringing up examples of past bad behavior, including criminal behavior. If the witness does not have immunity, this could result in a conviction. Also, if the witness is shown to be lying and deliberately gives false evidence under oath, this can result in a conviction for the crime of perjury. Finally, immunity may be withdrawn if the witness is shown to be lying, or to have misrepresented his or her knowledge of the case, or role in the case.
