This depends on any deal that the State has with the witness.

It depends upon whether the State cut some kind of "deal" with him to get him to testify.

This is very situationally dependent. You need to get in contact with the Victim's assistant at your local District Attorney's office or the Victims Rights organization near your county. You are entitled to be consulted on any and all negotiations that are made with regard to the perpetrators.
