With one exception-That a defendant may not use the Fifth Amendment as a sword.
While you are correct that he did not cite one specific case, there are hundreds that he could have cited. And it's just plain ole (tort) law 101, IMO. The Constitution was not written to punish people, it was written to insure liberty in the face of the ever-present threat of tyranny. Morgan could go on about that for pages and pages, but he chose to KISS.
His anger is palpable as well it should be. KC has mocked this case time and time again, and it's not up to her to mock it, or us to mock it, or anyone else. It was accepted as a legitimate case by the courts when they refused to toss it, and now it has to be heard regardless of KC's opinion of it or her attorneys' attempts to delay it on shaky grounds.
Here's the part that makes no sense to me, but I guess I'm not one of them smarty pants lawyer types: How can KC countersue under the guise that Zenaida's claims are false and causing her duress...but on the other hand refuse to answer questions that, if she were so darn innocent of lying about Zenaida, would clear her in the civil claim? Instead, she is basically saying that if she answers the questions she could incriminate herself (criminally) of lying to LE about ZG, but she is countersuing because she isn't lying about this Zenaida...Huh? Remember the question about why she did not clear this Zenaida from Kissimmee? If I read correctly, she refusd to answer that question.
