Quote:"mud butt"?  Again, you know more than I.  FYI the 5th, in the context in which it's used here, grants protection from self-incrimination.  So, unless you're suggesting Blackmon was doing something illegal, it would not be applicable. 

The Supreme Court has held that "a witness may have a reasonable fear of prosecution and yet be innocent of any wrongdoing. The privilege serves to protect the innocent who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances." <i>Ohio v. Reiner</i>, 532 U.S. <a class="" href='http://supreme.justia.com/us/532/17/case.html'>17</a>
