The US Constitutional 5th Amendment has been in existence since day one of America. The right to remain silent, not to incriminate yourself, is a good thing.

The only knowledge I have of this situation is what I have seen and/or read from the Media. With that in mind, I think the facts, forensics, and evidence will and should out weigh that officer's 5th Amendment rights. Thousands upon thousands of Americans have been convicted of various crimes and never said a word.

NOW....I also know, that their is a "brotherhood" within the ranks of a Police Dept (at least here in Michigan). Some officer may know something and remain silent or chose not to get involved, which may make prosecution more difficult.

It is a very sad situation for this woman's family, loved ones, and friends.
