Houston Criminal Defense Attorney, Criminal Lawyers in Houston

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.
