| 5.__No comment or inference permitted.__If a privilege under |
this section is or was exercised in the instant proceeding or |
on a prior occasion, neither the presiding officer nor counsel |
may comment upon the exercise of the privilege, and no |
presumption arises because of the exercise.__The trier of fact |
may not draw any inference from the exercise of the privilege |
as to the credibility of the witness or as to any matter at |
issue in the proceeding.__At the request of a party who may be |
adversely affected by an inference that may be drawn by the |
jury, the court shall instruct the jury that no presumption |
arises because of the exercise of the privilege and the jury |
may not draw an inference from the exercise of the privilege |
as to the credibility of the witness or as to any matter at |
issue in the proceeding. |
