Question

Rule of Law Case #2
The police brought Shawn, who is 14 years old, to the police station because he was the main suspect in a murder that
happened around 3 a.m., approximately two hours earlier. The police read Shawn his Miranda warings two times,
but he waived them both times. One of the detectives asked Shawn twice if he wanted his parents present, but Shawn
refused both times. Shawn had never been in trouble with law enforcement before. He was not under the influence of
alcohol Drugs. Shawn was a fluent English speaker and had completed eighth grade. Shawn then confessed to the
murder and, night after doing so, again told the police that he unded his rights.

Listed below is the text of the Fifth Amendment. What does the Fifth Amendment protect?
