North forced to testify at Poindexter trial in Iran-Contra case
Oliver North, already convicted in the Iran-Contra affair, testified Tuesday in the Poindexter trial after being granted immunity by Judge Harold Greene. North invoked the Fifth Amendment but was compelled to take the stand, spending hours answering questions under pressure from prosecutor Lawrence Walsh.
