WEST VIRGINIA CODE
WVC 57-5-2
§57-5-2. When witness may be compelled to give evidence against
himself; immunity of witness from prosecution.
In any criminal proceeding no person shall be excused from
testifying or from producing documentary or other evidence upon the
ground that such testimony or evidence may criminate or tend to
criminate him, if the court in which he is examined is of the
opinion that the ends of justice may be promoted by compelling such
testimony or evidence. And if, but for this section, the person
would have been excused from so testifying or from producing such
evidence, then if the person is so compelled to testify or produce
other evidence and if such testimony or evidence is
self-criminating, such self-criminating testimony or evidence shall
not be used or receivable in evidence against him in any proceeding
against him thereafter taking place other than a prosecution for
perjury in the giving of such evidence, and the person so compelled
to testify or furnish evidence shall not be prosecuted for the
offense in regard to which he is so compelled to testify or furnish
evidence, and he shall have complete legal immunity in regard
thereto.
