He said he wouldn't name names, but you can't plead the 5th except to protect yourself, right?

The 5th amendment is the right to not speak unless otherwise indicted.

Exactly, it only protects you against SELF-incrimination. You have to answer about others.

I like Schilling. He speaks his mind on anything. You may not agree with it, but I like hearing his thoughts.

5th 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 offence 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.

Ok Schilling just burned Canseco.

I don't think you can plead the fifth if you already answered questions, right? Eh, I could be thinking of something else...

Right, the relevant part is the "witness against himself" part.

He said it is a better test than they had but it is not perfect.

Guess I'm alone on this one. I just think he's arrogant and irritating. Whatever.

Thanks.

Schilling wants this to be about more than just pro baseball.

Criminal case, witness against himself.

 

They could take the 5th on this question: "During your time as a player did you ever take steriods with Mr. Canseco?"

 

They could not take the 5th on this question: "During your time as a player, did you ever witness another player taking steriods?"

 

The second question there is no way to incriminate themselves, therefore the judge could put them in contempt of court for not answering.

Did I just hear him say soemthing about the tobacco industry marketing to youth??

 

WTF is this conference about?

Franky on now.

Right, that's what I was thinking. So McGuire cannot take the 5th on the basis that he may incriminate someone else.
