Answer:

He will be hold in contempt of the law court. And contempt against the law court charge is punishable by jail or fine, or both

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris is said to be served with subpoena. A subpoena means that the law court want you to provide information concerning a subject matter. A subpoena ad testificandum requires you to testify in court, at a deposition, or to some other legal authority. A subpoena duces tecum requires you to produce documents or tangible evidence.

Chris will be charged to be in contempt of the law court. But if Chris did not was to testify because of self incrimination, with the help of a experienced criminal defense attorney, Chris might use the fifth amendment right.
