Sarno v. Illinois Crime Investigating Commission , 91 S. Ct. 918 ( 1971 )

Sup. Ct. Ill. Petition for writ of certiorari granted limited to Questions 1 and 3 as set forth in the petition which read as follows:

“1. Must the State affirmatively demonstrate to respondents, when testifying pursuant to the Illinois Immunity Statute, that an immunity, as broad in scope as the Fifth Amendment, is available and applicable to them?

“3. Assuming the immunity statute was not as broad as the Fifth Amendment, as far as future state prosecutions are concerned, may a person plead the Fifth Amendment when it is evident, from the implication of the questions in the setting in which they are asked, that responsive answers to the questions might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result in future state prosecutions?”
