[PDF] 5th amendment rights

  • What happens if you plead the fifth?

    The idea is that defendants, whether guilty or innocent, should not be punished for exercising a right under the United States Constitution. Both jurors and the public tend to make an adverse inference against anyone who pleads the fifth, which is why courts do not allow it to be used as evidence in a criminal trial.
  • For someone facing criminal charges, pleading the Fifth means exercising their right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves. If you worry about answering questions out of fear that you may be guilty of a crime, you have the legal right to plead the Fifth.
