Have you ever realized how paradoxical the fifth amendment is? Just think about it- if someone asks you in court (wierd lawyer rules of not leading the suspect aside) 'Did you kill this guy?' And you say 'I, uh, I plead the fifth...' Doesn't that show that you have something to hide it something you don't want to say? The paradox comes in when you realize that in trying to not condemn yourself, you've done just that by showing that you indeed have something to hide. Is it better then to lie under oath and potentially condemn yourself to perjury?
