Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 516:7-a

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Sequester: To separate. Sometimes juries are sequestered from outside influences during their deliberations.
  • Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
If a victim/witness advocate is called as a witness, a party opposing such action may move for an order requiring the party desiring to use such testimony to show cause why such victim/witness advocate’s testimony is necessary. In no case shall a victim/witness advocate be sequestered unless the court finds and orders, based on the facts of the case, that failure to sequester would violate a defendant‘s rights.
