Wash. Rev. Code § 7.69.035

Current through Chapters 1-163 and 165-376 of the 2024 Regular Session
Section 7.69.035 - Protection of witnesses who testify against criminal gang members-Intent

The legislature recognizes that witnesses are often fearful of testifying against criminal gang members. Witnesses may be subject to harassment, intimidation, and threats. While the state does not ensure protection of witnesses, the state intends to provide resources to assist local prosecutors in combating gang-related crimes and to help citizens perform their civic duty to testify in these cases.
