Homework Help: Criminal Law

Posted by Sharon on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 5:50pm.

Should someone be force to testify or why should they testify even if they are under oath?

I thought that the 5th or 6th amendment protects a person from testify even if they have nothing to hide.

Is this true?

Which amendment give an individual the right not testfiy agasint themselve are someonelse?

The 5th and 6th Amendments cover the rights of the accused, not the rights of witnesses.
