Description

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN PROHIBITION Relator Ramsey Munn seeks to prevent respondent, the Honorable Richard B. McKelvey, Judge of the Circuit Court of Jackson County from enforcing an order directing relator to answer questions posed to him during a deposition by the State of Missouri. The primary question presented is whether, upon the state's offer to grant a witness immunity from criminal prosecution in return for his testimony, a Missouri court can deny the witness his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination and compel him to testify. Because this Court determines that Missouri prosecutors have no authority, either statutory or inherent, to grant such immunity, the preliminary order is made absolute.
