...I've always thought that forcing immunity on some poor bastard who's obviously not a mobster is unfair.
Example: Joe Schmo borrows shylock money and his name gets picked up on a wiretap. Two years later he gets called to a grand jury and tries to take the fifth, then the prosecutor comes back with an immunity order.
Now, Joe Schmo either:
a) tells the truth and gets repercussions from the mob.
b) lies and eventually gets charged with perjury.
c) refuses to testify and gets jailed for contempt.
Joe Schmo is screwed. It doesn't seem like a fair system.
Well, I guess Mr. Schmo shouldn't have chosen to borrow in the first place, then he wouldn't be faced with the other 3 choices presented.
You may be right, pizzaboy, it isn't fair. But as President Kennedy once said,:
"Life isn't fair..."
