"In civil court they will be compelled to take the stand to testify or plead the 5th"
funny..i didnt see any thing in your quotes or link that indicates m/m will be compelled to testify..
"also in the deposition - when they are questioned .. and must answer or plead the 5th"
is it your contention that there MUST be a depostion?...
by the way...in what state are those rules you looked up valid?..and is it your contention that all those rules apply to every state and do not differ?..
