I'll admit I don't really know, like, anything about law and stuff. But isn't the Fifth Amendment, etc. a "you MAY" type of thing? As in, it's entirely optional whether you want to use it or not? And, well, you've already seen how Larry is, I don't think it's too farfetched to think he would turn down the opportunity to keep his mouth shut...

5A in the US formulation is that the prosecution cannot compel you to give up self-incriminating information. You can absolutely cede that voluntarily, even under deception or some forms of duress. And of course its an oft-violated right anyway.

e: Also AA is very not based on the American legal system, but if it were then Mr. Larry isn't really having his rights violated he's just being a terrible defendant.

I personally think Sahwit is innocent, and Larry totally did it.

I think it was suicide.
