Is there any case law where a defendant who refuses to testify before a grand jury has a right to defend himself against compelled self-incrimination?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Gysels, 974 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir. 1992):
He also contends that before he testified before the grand jury, the court was required to inform him of his right against compelled self-incrimination. This argument is also meritless. Miranda does not apply to cross-examination of an immunized witness who refuses to testify. United States v. Kilgroe, 959 F.2d 802, 804-05 (9th Cir.1992).
