on Leno Sued at 15:48 10/16/2008

In NY, you have 4 years to sue on a contract, plus any time he was incapacitated (ill). Leno is being sued because he possesses the car, no other reason. The suit is most likely to undue the sale, so if plaintiffs win, Leno gets his money back and they get the car back, plus damages from the shady garage owners. Leno isn't at risk of losing any money unless they can prove he knew the auction was a sham.

If you're called to testify before a grand jury, you claim 5th Amendment Privilege. The prosecutor can, at that point, get an order of immunity from a judge which compels your testimony, but you're immune from the use of your testimony against you (and any evidence derived from the use of your testimony). It can only be used to prosecute you for perjury or to impeach you if you later say something different on the witness stand.
