Technically yes. Since double jeopardy means he can't be tried or sentenced for a crime he was already tried and sentenced for, he can no longer incriminate himself. Unless they ask a question that would incriminate him on other charges, he'd be compelled to speak the truth.
Of course, given his history of lying, I'm not sure I'd trust anything he said even under oath.
