| The following rights and privileges are guaranteed to those accused of a crime by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights: You are innocent until proven guilty This concept is the foundation of the criminal justice system and influences every other legal principle. You have the right to a trial by jury The sixth amendment to the Constitution guarantees That “in all criminal proceedings, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury.” You have the right to an attorney The right to an attorney is an inherent right of the defendant’s, and the State must provide counsel if the defendant cannot secure his own. You do not have to prove anything The State has the burden of proving the defendant is guilty and must show beyond a reasonable doubt That the accused committed the crime charged. The defendant does not have to prove his is innocent. You have the right to confront witnesses The sixth amendment also guarantees That the accused has the right to confront the witnesses against him. For this reason, the defendant will always be present in the courtroom, while all other witnesses are present only for their own testimony and closing arguments. The defendant does not have to testify. The fact That a defendant chooses not to testify cannot be considered as a factor when guilt or innocence is determined. |
