Actually, refusing to testify against yourself in US courts can be
contempt of court. There are at least two conditions I am aware of:
1 - When you have already started testifying, you cannot stop. You
have waived your right to self incrimination.
2 - If you have been granted immunity from prosecution (for example,
by Congress), you do not have the right to remain silent.
3 - You have no right to silence in a civil trial.
I'm not a layer, so I could have the details wrong here.
