Article 135

De l'audition des témoins

Criminal Procedure
Titre II: De la procédure criminelle (On Criminal Procedure)
Chapitre III: De l'audition des témoins (On the Hearing of Witnesses)

Sous les peines portées en l'article précédent, il ne pourra être fait aucun interligne dans la minute des dépositions des témoins ; les ratures et les renvois seront approuvés et signés par le juge d'instruction, par le greffier, et par le témoin s'il sait signer ; sinon mention en sera faite.

Life lesson: No writing between the lines of witness statements is allowed. Any corrections or margin notes must be approved and signed by the judge, clerk, and witness — tampering with the record is a punishable offense.
Notes: Anti-tampering rule for deposition minutes: no interlignes in original. Ratures (erasures) and renvois (marginal notes) require triple approval + signature. Same penalties as Art. 134 (nullité, amende, prise à partie). Document integrity protection. Prevents post-hoc alteration of testimony.
