Waiver by victim of protections of chapter
Sec. 10. (a) A victim does not waive the protections afforded by
this chapter by testifying in court about an offense. However, if the
victim partially discloses the contents of a confidential
communication in the course of testifying, either party may request
the court to rule that justice requires the protections of this chapter
to be waived, to the extent they apply to that portion of the
communication.
(b) A waiver under this section applies only to the extent
necessary to require any witness to respond to questions concerning
the confidential communication that are relevant to the facts and
circumstances of the case.
As added by P.L.136-1987, SEC.5.
