Final answer:
False
A suspect cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment to refuse giving a voice exemplar, as the Amendment protects against self-incrimination, not the collection of physical evidence. The Fifth Amendment applies to testimony, not to providing physical exemplars such as voice samples.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked whether a suspect can invoke his/her Fifth Amendment rights to refuse to give a voice exemplar during a lineup. The correct answer is b) False. The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from self-incrimination, meaning they have the right to refuse to answer questions that may incriminate themselves.
However, providing a voice exemplar is considered a form of physical evidence, much like fingerprints or a lineup, and does not involve making statements that could be self-incriminating. Consequently, the Fifth Amendment does not provide the right to refuse to give a voice exemplar.
In the landmark case of Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that suspects must be informed of their rights, including the right against self-incrimination and the right to an attorney, before being interrogated while in police custody. Therefore, while the Fifth Amendment ensures that a suspect can remain silent to avoid self-incrimination, it does not apply to the collection of physical evidence.
