Is gov't in a RICO case required to reveal witness ID before a trial if the wit. protection prgm is involved?
For a witness's protection before he goes into the witness program, are the government prosecutors required to provide a witness account pre-trial to the defense that includes the person they have promised to protect and relocate?
The witness list will include the tangible name of the witnesses they intend to call. It will NOT include any information about their different identity, or where they live etc.
If the defense wishes to depose the witness prior to trial then the Gov't will make him available to them at the police station or Federal building, and after return them to their new location afterward.
