I very much doubt it :) News like this would be big (off-ing high
maintenance witnesses after they have testified) and it *would* get out.
Think about it... someone working for such a program could approach the
media with such a story and get paid well enough to retire for life! Then
you'd have a sharp _decline_ in the number of witnesses coming forward :)
