Never thought of this. Woman is ordered to decrypt laptop (a process I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with yet), has supposedly forgotten the password? Can you really hold her in contempt? You have no way to determine if she has or has not forgotten the password.
I realize that this will be a judgement call by the judge (and in latter case, possibly by a jury) to determine if she is telling the truth about forgetting. But, if it is reasonable possible to forget, can you really leave that up to a judge? To indefinitely hold a person in contempt for something that can be reasonably expected to not be their fault? Interesting...
