Can someone tell me what this means? I guess that I thought she would turn against Milam and testify...felt sure of it. Why isn't she? Does this mean she participated??
Gossett recessed the jury so that Jessica Carson could be brought into the courtroom for a motion to quash her appearing in Milam's trial to testify.
Her defense attorney, Don Killingsworth, was on hand to assist her in invoking her Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate herself by testifying in Milam's trial.
Milam asked his lead attorney, Rick Hagan, what Ms. Carson was going to say.
“I don't know. You'll find out when I do. She's here I think to invoke her Fifth Amendment (right not to testify against herself).”
Ms. Carson, wearing a green and white striped jail jumpsuit, was led into the courtroom in shackles.
Killingworth asked Ms. Carson if it was she was invoking her Fifth Amendment right, and she said yes.
Hagan then asked if he called her to testify if she would invoke her right to not testify in the murder of her baby. With a quivering voice, she replied that she would not testify.
