Description

The appellant, Ferdnand M. Arndt, appeals an order adjudging him guilty of contempt of court entered for his refusal, on Fifth Amendment grounds, to obey a trial court order to answer certain questions asked him in proceedings supplemental to a judgment. Three issues are presented: (1) whether the immunity granted in RCW 6.32.200 is adequate to justify the compulsion of a person's testimony over his claim of Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination; (2) whether the appellant has made a sufficient showing that his answers to questions might tend to incriminate him so as to enable the appellant to invoke the privilege against compulsory self-incrimination; and (3) whether the trial court's imposition of terms upon the appellant was permissible.
