Is there any inconsistency in a claim of privilege by the appellant?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Lazarus, 425 F.2d 638 (9th Cir. 1970):
It is contended that counsel for the Government argued to the jury that the claim of the privilege by the appellant was inconsistent with his subsequent testimony. We do not so read the record. The argument stressed the willfulness inherent in a deliberate attempt to shield others and to avoid the sanctions of the contempt order. No objection to the argument was made in the court below and cannot now be raised. Devine v. United States, supra.
