In the coming Civil Trial, Stewart can't plead the Fifth Amendment. She can't refuse to answer questions, she can't refuse to sit on the witness stand.

She certainly can. There are consequences of doing so in a civil case that are not present in a criminal case, but she does not lose her Fifth Amendment rights when she walks through the civil courtroom doors.

Ask OJ Simpson....sorry, she can't plead the Fifth in a Civil Court Trial. She can cause the court to find her "In Contempt"....but that doesn't change the fact she can't plead the Fifth.

Perhaps NYC has laws on this topic the rest of the nation isn't aware of.......
