Try to make me talk and I'll just sit there and stare at you.

It is a Choice, whether you care to believe so or not.

As I said, there are Consequences in doing so. I guess you missed that part.

No. I didn't miss that part.

If your semantics of "choice" means that murdering someone during a robbery with a handgun is "a choice," the same as owning one and killing a burglar/rapist during an assault is "a choice."

Surefine. It's just 'consequences,' whatever.

If you accept the Fifth Amendment, then you have to accept the Sixth, as well.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
