New York A02391 allows courts to withhold witness and victim information if they are at risk of intimidation or threats.

New York A02391 amends the criminal procedure law to protect witnesses and victims in criminal prosecutions from intimidation and threats. The bill permits courts to withhold the disclosure of names and other contact information if the court finds on the record that such individuals are subject to potential intimidation, violence, or threats. The court may still direct the disclosure of a physical address upon a motion and good cause shown. The prosecution must notify the defendant in writing if such information has not been disclosed, unless the court rules otherwise for good cause shown.
