18. I was under the impression that you can't take the 5th before a Grand Jury
I don't know where I heard it, but it seems like I remember someone saying that the 5th ammendment protection against forced self-incrimination doesn't apply in the grand jury, since you're not actually on trial.

By all means, jump in and correct me if I'm wrong.
