123320P.pdf   07/02/2013  United States  v.  David Musk
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3320
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal case. The district court's decision as to whether 
   a witness has a valid claim for exercising the Fifth Amendment privilege 
   is highly fact-intensive and is reviewed for an abuse of discretion; here, 
   defendant made a knowing waiver of the Fifth Amendment and the objected-to 
   cross-examination was within the scope of his testimony on direct and 
   re-direct; claim that the district court improperly compelled defendant's 
   testimony by threatening him with economic sanctions (the costs of a 
   mistrial) rejected.
