What does it mean when people say "i plead the fifth?
Answers:
When someone states "I plead the fifth", they are invoking their 5th amendment constitution right not to say anything that will incriminate them. If they are testifying at trial and an answer will show that they did something wrong or illegal, they don't have to answer the question. Unless they are the person on trial. If an accused takes the stand, they have to answer all questions.
They are opted to not answer as the answer could self incriminate them in a crime.
