Most people who were guilty, but proved innocent, would have gotten in trouble later, they would then be double trialed. Not being able to be double jeoparedied as actually a good right. It is pretty much saying you didnt prove me guilty the first time, you didnt find enough evidence, so I shall be set free. If you are then accused of doing something else that is related to that crime, you can get tried again.

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.

How is the fifth amendment legal rights violated?

The Fifth Amendment legal rights can be violated in several ways, such as through coerced confessions obtained during interrogations without legal counsel present, or by denying an individual the right to a fair trial. Additionally, if a person is subjected to double jeopardy, being tried for the same offense after an acquittal, or if their property is taken without just compensation (eminent domain), these actions would constitute violations of their Fifth Amendment rights. Furthermore, failure to provide due process in legal proceedings also infringes upon these rights.
