The right to remain silent protects you when and if you undergo police questioning or trial. If you've been charged with a crime and spoken to the police, make sure you contact the criminal defense team at Attorney William B. Bennett P.A. as soon as possible to lessen any consequences.
The right against self-incrimination basically states that you don't have to talk about your case or testify on your behalf. When one "pleads the 5th", the burden is then put on the state to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Your miranda rights are built on the 5th Amendment as a method to help protect those rights.
