Do you think she'll continue to plead the 5th if she's called upon at trial?
I fully expect her to do so.
Of course, the only reason witnesses can plead the 5th is to protect themselves from self-incrimination.
So it's pretty revealing that Ma F. has already done so in this case.
And gotten herself her own lawyer, to boot.
Most witnesses don't have to retain their own attorneys.
Ma F. can't plead the 5th just because she wants to protect PF.
A person can't refuse to testify in order to avoid implicating someone else in a crime.
A person can only refuse to testify on the grounds that to do so may implicate themselves in a crime.
I hope Ma F. does plead the 5th.
I say that because if Ma F. pleads the 5th on the stand, and by if I mean when, it will pretty much be confirmation that she is complicit in the crime somehow.
I hope the DA files charges against her subsequently.
She didn't make any sweetie beauty of a deal with the DA like KK did.
If she in any way aided or abetted PF, or was an accessory after the fact, she should face charges.
