In my personal opinion, that has to be one of the strictest legislative angles in our criminal justice system, because it's the cornerstone. If you have people who are intimidated and too scared to come forward, our whole criminal justice system is down the drain. Anyone who is tampering with the system, intimidating witnesses, threatening witnesses has to be dealt with to the full extent of the law.
