Is a witness compelled to be a witness against him?

Defendant contends he was compelled to be a witness against him in that the court admitted his extrajudicial statements. These statements, he argues, contained only an accusation followed by a specific denial and were therefore inadmissible. But the denial here was coupled with equivocal behavior and additional demonstrably false statements. The evidence was admissible. (People v. Romano, supra, 197 Cal.App.2d 622, 635, 17 Cal.Rptr. 399.)
