Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Good answers should discuss that the Fifth Amendment is not violated when the defense is forced to provide the prosecution, in advance of trial, any of the following: (1 ) an alibi or other affirmative defense that will be raised at trial; (2 ) notice of witnesses who are to testify, including their statements; or (3 ) real or documentary evidence concerning the crime in question. But there is a Fifth Amendment violation when the defense is compelled to (1 ) notify the prosecution as to whether the defendant intends to
testify; (2 ) identify witnesses who will not testify at trial; or (3 ) disclose evidence that will not be introduced at trial.
