In a grand jury witnesses cannot plead the fifth like in normal court. In a grand jury, you can be found in contempt and jailed for it.

@veganstraightedge (To clarify that last one, there is a record, but it's not public. The accused has access to their transcript though.)

@sammichfelge Thanks.

Grand juries are secret courts. No record. No observers. No defending attorney. Secrets all the way down.

@sammichfelge Annnd… never mind. I forgot that you're in PDX. :|
