If you were compelled to give evidence against yourself and the evidence resulted in your conviction, you could appeal the conviction.
If you are asking about something else, you'll need to be more specific or you'll need to talk to an attorney.

What does the fifth amandment mean?
The fifth amendment entitles you to not say anything about something you have just been arrested for. Many emotions prevail when you have just been accused of something - even as far as admitting you have doen something when you haven't. This amendment is to protect you until you calm down and are thinking straight. Of course you can waive your 'amanda rights' but they will be taken into consideration should your case go to court. Take my advice - use your fifth amendment wisely!

Is there a need to revise the fifth amendment?
How many more amendments will it take? Aren't five enough? If we revise the fifth amendment will it be the sixth amendment? What will then be the fifth amendment? The fourth? Let's just stick with the fifth amendment we've got. That's what I say. Second opinion: The fifth amendment is fine just the way it is, and the way it has been interpreted under Miranda. If you think it should be revised, contact your congressman/woman or senator and ask that it be changed. p.s. There are 27 amendments right now. If the fifth amendment were changed, it would become the 28th.
Why did the Supreme Court overturn the conviction of Ernesto Miranda in 1966?
The Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Ernesto Miranda in 1966 because his confession had been obtained without informing him of his right to remain silent and his right to have an attorney present during questioning. The court held that this violated his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. This landmark case led to the creation of the Miranda rights, which law enforcement must now recite to suspects upon arrest.
History of edward j garrity police of police?
Edward Garrity was Chief of Police of Bellmawr Pennsylvania. He and other officers were accused of ticket-fixing in the 1960s. When questionned about the matter, the officers were forced to make statements or lose their jobs. Then the prosecutor used their incriminating statements against them in Court. The US Supreme Court eventually heard their case and ruled that their Constitutional rights had been violated and they had been unduely coerced into making self-incriminating statements. Their Fifth Amendment right to be protected against self-incrimination had been violated. The Court ruled that police officers can be ordered to give statements relative to their performance of duty, or lose their jobs if they refuse, but their statements, if obtained in this manner, can not be used against them in a criminal prosecution.
