People v. Austingreen2 sentences2021However, for the reasons discussed below, we answer this question in the affirmative. ¶ 32 It is well established that the privilege against self- incrimination “is an option of a refusal, not a prohibition of inquiry,” and thus it “may not be asserted as a blanket claim in 17 advance of the questions actually propounded.” Ruch, ¶ 23, 379 P.3d at 313 (quoting People v.

Nicholas Lennear v. Eric Wilsongreen1 sentence2024Brooks doesn’t present any evidence or argument challenging CDOC’s reasoning. 5 ¶ 16 And while a blanket rule barring inmate access to video evidence in all cases likely wouldn’t pass constitutional muster, see Lennear, 937 F.3d at 270-71 (inmate rights to access videos must be assessed on an individualized basis, and categorical or absolute prohibitions don’t satisfy due process), we discern no due process violation in this case. | 1 | 1 |
