OHIO v. REINER

Per Curiam

possible questions might tend to incriminate her. Batt therefore had a valid Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

We do not, of course, address the question whether immunity from suit under § 2945.44 was appropriate. Because the Supreme Court of Ohio mistakenly held that the witness' assertion of innocence deprived her of her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, the court's judgment is reversed, and this case is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.

It is so ordered.
