Supreme Court extends Fifth Amendment protections to states
The Supreme Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment protects a witness in state proceedings and that state granted immunity cannot be used to prosecute in federal court, aligning with due process under the 14th Amendment. Justice Brennan and Justice Goldberg authored the opinions, marking a shift from 1944 rulings and linking 5th and 14th amendments in self incrimination cases.
