During a recent court hearing, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made a significant statement regarding the prosecution of criminal defendants with immunity for certain actions. She emphasized that in an 'ordinary' case, a trial would typically proceed even if the defendant had immunity for specific acts.
Justice Jackson highlighted that as long as there are sufficient allegations in the indictment that involve non-immunized 'private acts,' the case should be allowed to move forward. She explained that in a typical scenario, the presence of some immunized actions would not halt the entire trial process. If there are other allegations that are not protected by immunity, the case would continue as usual.
