Yes. I think what you were saying is that torture and threats could be used against the accused in order to force a confession, so the 5th protects them. I was saying that the same threats and torture could be used on other witnesses the same as it could on the defendant, so they shouldn't have to testify either, by that logic.
I think it would be easier to guarantee that a witness or defendant shall not be tortured or coerced in any way in the BOR.
