Alinea 90 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 29 januari 2013

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 29 januari 2013, ECLI:NL:PHR:2013:BX5539.

"123. When a witness's fear is attributable to the defendant or those acting on his behalf, it is appropriate to allow the evidence of that witness to be introduced at trial without the need for the witness to give live evidence or be examined by the defendant or his representatives - even if such evidence was the sole or decisive evidence against the defendant. (...)Consequently, a defendant who has acted in this manner must be taken to have waived his rights to question such witnesses under Article 6 § 3(d). The same conclusion must apply when the threats or actions which lead to the witness being afraid to testify come from those who act on behalf of the defendant or with his knowledge and approval."
