I remember from the OJ trial that it's only in criminal trials that you can plead the 5th and not answer questions. Paula's case is a civil case, so he would not have that option.

Yes, now I remember that that's why OJ had to testify in the civil suit. But still there must be some limits. What they ask must arguably be relevant to the case at hand, I should think.

And....though I think OJ was guilty as hell, I really don't think a civil trial following a criminal trial should be an option. Double jeopardy.

Yeah, he THOUGHT he had something to lose. This is the problem, I think, with the Legal Mind. From the start he's been incapable of understanding what's really important; thinks that by using the right and unassailable phrases he can fool everyone. Works in a court of law, because of legal conventions, but makes a bad impression on the public.
