My "guilty" accusations are mostly court of public opinion as in the SOB said those invoking the 5th are criminals. Of course he's a lying POS so even saying that can be defended in a court of law. What is unclear to me is what this 5th "inference" means, why the distinction between criminal/civil if it makes no difference?There are several of you claiming the 5th invocation proves his guilt.... I said that is not true... that is all I have claimed.
Others have said it can be used to plea to the jury an inference of guilt. I said that alone is meaningless, there has to be factual evidence to at least support the claim of fraud. A 5th invocation in civil or ciminal is on its own not enought o prove anything.
