gunplagirl 08/11/22 1:44:40 PM #10:	Depends on context. Someone who has made a career off running scams and other fraud and using illegal stalling tactics to get out of court cases because the person suing ran out of money for a lawyer or else died during all the delays? They're definitely hiding stuff. Average joe who doesn't want to risk being sued even should he be found not guilty for some car crash? Probably not hiding anything and a good use of the right. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:967236310] in Does plead...

Do I think Trump has something to hide? Absolutely. I don't think everyone who pleads the fifth does, however. well anything you say can and will be used against you, most people end up incriminating themselves when they blabber so as a rule they tell you not to talk without your attorney present, so they can talk for you.

ThyCorndog 08/12/22 6:37:48 AM #15:	Nah not necessarily. I know this is a trump reference obviously and the dude is definitely guilty of a ton of crimes, but it's just a right to avoid self incrimination.

UnholyMudcrab 08/12/22 7:38:49 AM #18:	An overly talkative defendant can easily get themselves convicted of crimes they didn't actually commit by falling into traps on the stand.
