System of Immunity from Giving Testimony in Criminal Litigation

System of immunity from giving testimony is an exemption for the witness' duty to testify,which is franchised to the witness due to relative privilege,special occupation privilege,official privilege and self-proved guilt privilege. Concerned lawyers and lineal descents should be franchised with the right of immunity from giving testimony by law,but those who know the national secret can be free of giving testimony only when the secret they possess is related to important national benefits and public safety.
