Chad Seybold’s bid for Fifth fought – Chronicle-Tribune

The City of Marion is objecting to Chad Seybolds motion to plead protection against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment in a civil lawsuit alleging fraud against Michael An and his companies.

The city filed a brief Friday afternoon in Grant County Superior Court I detailing its opposition, which largely argues that Seybolds request does not meet the legal requirements for the Fifth to be used correctly in this lawsuit.
