                            RULE 6.14
                            IMMUNITY

    In any case the court on motion of the prosecuting attorney
may order that a witness shall not be excused from giving
testimony or producing any papers, documents or things, on the
ground that such testimony may tend to incriminate or subject the
witness to a penalty or forfeiture; but the witness shall not be
prosecuted or subjected to criminal penalty or forfeiture for or
on account of any transaction, matter, or fact concerning which
the witness has been ordered to testify pursuant to this rule.
The witness may nevertheless be prosecuted for failing to comply
with the order to answer, or for perjury or the giving of false
evidence.

Amended Effective December 26, 2000
