Witness Privileges

You have just been assigned as a trainer for your department. The first lesson assigned to you is the discussion of privileged conversations between the accused and others. You’ve been asked to present this training using PowerPoint (or Open Office’s Impress). 

A variety of privileges exist in law, including the privilege to not incriminate oneself. Cover each privilege using one or two slides per item.  (Break down the government’s privileged communication into separate components.)
