Can a witness be denied privilege during the pendency of an appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Courtney S., In re, 130 Cal.App.3d 567, 181 Cal.Rptr. 843, 643 P.2d 476 (Cal. App. 1982):
The first contention runs counter to the established rule that a witness retains the privilege during the pendency of an appeal. (People v. Lopez (1980) 110 Cal.App.3d 1010, 1021, 168 Cal.Rptr. 378.) Since Arthur still had the right to appeal at the time his testimony was sought, the privilege was still available to him.
