I think you lost your right to plea that ONE! ahaha<br />
<br />
ummmm explain to an Aussie here.. what the heck is the 5th? hahaha
The 5th Amendment of the US Constitution:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on 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.
To plead the 5th is to refuse to answer a question or provide information so as not to incriminate oneself.
