When a person refuses to testify against themselves, it is referred to as "pleading the Fifth" or invoking the Fifth Amendment right. This legal protection in the United States prevents individuals from being compelled to provide self-incriminating evidence during legal proceedings. It is a fundamental right that upholds the principle that one cannot be forced to confess or provide information that could lead to their own prosecution.
