Name and explain the different types of immunity.
What will be an ideal response?
There are two types of immunity-use and derivative use immunity and transactional immunity. Use and derivative use immunity prohibits the use of any testimony that is specifically immunized and any evidence derived from it in a prosecution of the immunized witness. Transactional immunity protects the immunized person from prosecution for all activity the witness mentions in his or her immunized testimony. Transactional immunity is sometimes referred to as "blanket immunity." Most jurisdictions utilize use and derivative use immunity rather than transactional immunity to limit the effects of immunization.
