The Fifth Amendment

The Fifth Amendment

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."


A person has the options to keep their mouth shut.  Yet the court order is negating the fifth amendment rights.  Are you as shocked as I am?




Why would anyone choose to remain silent if the truth will set you free?  Although you are able to tell the truth you can still be charged with a crime.  Better to keep your mouth shut.
