The correct response is **the Fifth Amendment**.
The Fifth Amendment includes protections against self-incrimination, which means that any confession or information obtained through coercion or torture could be deemed inadmissible in court. Therefore, the lawyer can claim that the charges should be dismissed due to the use of torture during the interrogation.
