Ky. R. Crim. P. RCr 5.12
As amended through March 4, 2024
When a witness before the grand jury refuses to testify or to answer a question put to him or her, the foreperson shall state the refusal to the court in the presence of the witness. After hearing the witness, if the court decides that the witness is bound to testify or answer and the witness persists in his or her refusal, the court shall proceed against the witness as in cases of similar refusal in open court.
