a witness turning state's evidence in exchange for a partial or a complete discharge of the offence Explanation: alternatively, in exchange for leniency in sentencing (mały) or immunity from prosecution (duży) Definicje małego i dużego świadka koronnego http://znamswojeprawo.pl/swiadek-koronny-kto-totaki A criminal turns state's evidence by admitting guilt and testifying as a witness for the state against his associate(s) or accomplice(s), often in exchange for leniency in sentencing or immunity from prosecution. The testimony of a witness who testifies against co-conspirator(s) may be important evidence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-12-06 12:28:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- W grę wchodzi bowiem nadzwyczajne złagodzenie odpowiedzialności karnej za popełnione przestępstwa (tzw. „mały świadek koronny” z art. 60 § 3 ustawy z dnia 6 czerwca 1997 roku Kodeks Karny – Dz.U. 1997 nr 88 poz. 553), a nawet odstąpienie od wykonania wobec niego kary (tzw. „duży świadek koronny” ze wspomnianej we wstępie ustawy). |
