Re: married couples rights
You have the right to refuse to testify in any trial. Read Article 5 of the Louisiana Code of Evidence and decide for yourself. If you are the victim of the crime being charged, that is one thing. Unfortunately, if you know facts about a crime, you may face obstruction of justice charges.
