“Pleading the fifth” is the label commonly used in the US - TopicsExpress



          

“Pleading the fifth” is the label commonly used in the US legal sphere to describe the act of invoking the right against self-incrimination. The fifth, in this case, refers to the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, which grants various rights to people, including the right not to testify against oneself in a trial. So, if that terrible situation occurs where there is much uncertainty of facts and circumstances, where someone is injured or dies, or a crime or shooting has occurred, and you are being questioned… do yourself a favor, be very cautious, even as an innocent person, and invoke your 5th Amendment rights in your U.S. Constitution immediately when the Police begin to question you. Get a lawyer.
