Original Note:
Invoking 5th amendment rights does not equal guilt and implying so undermines important rights. Many lawyers would encourage innocent people to invoke this right to avoid phrasing that can be misrepresented later on. This is often an important part of self defense cases. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fifth_amendment https://www.muscalaw.com/blog/why-would-innocent-person-plead-fifth-amendment
