Answer to Question 1

The protection against compulsory self-incrimination for an accused is the privilege
not to testify during the defendant's criminal trial. The protection against compulsory
self-incrimination for a witness is for any witness, other than an accused on the
witness stand, who has the privilege to refuse to disclose any information that may
tend to incriminate him or her. The privilege for the accused is about testifying at all,
where the privilege for the witness is about testifying about certain facts.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
