Abstract

The article explores the right against self-incrimination under the Georgia Constitution, comparing it to the federal right and highlighting the unique protections provided by the state constitution. State courts have interpreted the Georgia Constitution more expansively, offering broader protections for criminal defendants. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between state and federal constitutional provisions and advocates for independent interpretation of state constitutions to ensure broader individual rights are considered and protected.
