The case of Roger Lawrence Bhagwat v. State of Maryland addresses two main legal questions: the proper procedure for invoking a witness's privilege against self-incrimination and the implications of a plea agreement that prevents a co-defendant from testifying in favor of the defendant. The court found that such a plea agreement could violate the defendant's rights to compulsory process and due process. The trial court's refusal to allow the co-defendant, Christopher Bhagwat, to testify based on his attorney's invocation of the Fifth Amendment was deemed improper, leading to the conclusion that this error may have influenced the jury's verdict. Consequently, the court reversed the judgment and remanded for a new trial.
