I've always been told to never talk to cops because in trying to proclaim your innocence of one crime, you more likely than not unwittingly admit to the commission of another.
If there is any concern as to that effect, you do not lie under oath by claiming there is in fact no concern or possibility of it.

Eh, I think you are construing my statement a little more narrow than I intended. If a cop approaches me about a murder and I tell him I did nothing wrong or wasn't involved, and he asks the logical follow-up, it may be that my next statement involves wholly unrelated illicit conduct that gets me in trouble. It really is why you should never talk to cops, even when you are innocent.

The fact of the matter is, we have no idea what she is refusing to testify about, but her lawyer has clearly advised her not to do so.
