When people accused of wrongdoing say, “I take the Fifth,” what does that mean?

I pled the fifth

Explanation:

It refers to the 5th amendment

I've heard this phrased as "I plead the fifth" but it typically means that they are invoking the 5th amendment. Whether in jest or an actual legal situation, by saying this they invoke their right to not incriminate themselves.

As the 5th amendment means that someone can't be punished without evidence. Whatever you say may be considered evidence.

Does that help?
