California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lankford, 127 Cal.Rptr. 408, 55 Cal.App.3d 203 (Cal. App. 1976):
5 The privilege is personal to the witness. (People v. Chavez, 262 Cal.App.2d 422, 68 Cal.Rptr. 759.) In view of the determination that the waiver was proper, we need not confront the issue of defendant's standing to raise the issue if in fact the waiver was improperly compelled.
