[QUOTE="Neogaia777, post: 72594806, member: 294131"] Star Trek TNG episode "The Drumhead" (watch it)... Worf: "If he were innocent and not guilty then he would speak..." Picard: "Oh no, we cannot allow ourselves to think that..." "We cannot take the guiding principles of the constitution and turn it against a citizen..." "To do so violates the very essence of the constitution..." "Something is wrong here Mr.Worf, I do not like what we have become..." There is a very good reason for the Fifth amendment being in our constitution, and it is mainly to stand against and prevent "drumhead" trials like in this episode... There may also be "explanations" that the person is ill-equipped to explain, or handle, at that moment... And we cannot allow overzealous prosecutor's, in the heat of the moment, to take advantage of that... It is a very good and wise protected right, and I'm glad it is, and thank the wisdom of the founding father's for putting it in there... God Bless! [/QUOTE]
