2.physical attack

Answer 1

its called self incrimination, and its when what you say would hurt your case. Take the 5th amendment in order to not incriminate yourself or others.

Answer 2

I think you might mean Self incrimination and you never need to act as a witness against your self, as per the 5th amendment

Answer 3

you are always a witness against yourself, unless deemed mentally impaired. What you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. And you have the right to be silent. You are your own witness but you have right not to convict yourself.

I think the 5th Amendment is abuse all too often. And even when criminals admit they are guilty, thousands of dollars are paid on defense lawyers to keep them quiet and try to fight their own statements in court. If they admit it, lock them away.

To Answer the 2nd part its called: pre-meditation.

The third answer is: assault.

Answer 5

Self incrimination.

Answer 6

Hon, I can tell that you have a specific problem, but you aren't actually putting it here.

Two pieces of advice:

1. Don't talk to anyone except your lawyer about anything unless you're ordering lunch. Don't say a word. Not to your family, husband, don't even tell the dog to "sit". Just be a mime until you talk to a lawyer.

2. LISTEN to your lawyer. Do what they tell you. Don't do anything they don't tell you to do.
