Question

Scenario - Murder Trial

Witness called will be tried later for the crime of murder

On the stand when asked questions regarding the defendent, he invokes his 5th Amendment.

The Judge asks the witness if he will be invoking the 5th on all questions.

Witness answers yes.

Question: If he continued to take questions and he answered one, would he then be revoking his 5th Amendment and have to answer all the questions?



Answer

This isn't really a yes or no question. You need to sit down with an attorney to discuss all the details to give a proper answer.
