Use immunity means that, while the government may prosecute witness for offences related to subject matter of witness’ testimony, the witness’ testimony itself and any fruits there from, may not be used against witness in any criminal case except prosecution for perjury arising out of testimony. “Use immunity” should be differentiated from “transactional immunity” which provides complete protection from prosecution for certain criminal acts. In theory a person given “use immunity” could still be prosecuted for a crime he testified about, if the prosecutor had independent evidence that was not derived from the immunized testimony. See, U.S. v. Apfelbaum , 445 U.S. 115 (1980). Such prosecutions are rare.
