Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three elements a defendant must prove for a successful claim that their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination was violated are compulsion, testimony, and incrimination. Abuse by law enforcement officers is not one of these elements; it might be relevant in other legal contexts, such as claims of police misconduct, but it is not a required element to prove a violation of the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination.
