1.) The 5th Amendment provides a defendant with the right against self incrimination. Because of this right, no defendant may be compelled in any criminal case to testify.If a defendant chooses to exercise this right, is it truly fair that the defense has the ability to question all of the opposing witnesses (possibly including the victim) but the prosecution does not have that same opportunity?
