Right to a Criminal Defense Lawyer - Defendants
have the right to a criminal defense attorney throughout legal
proceedings. The court will appoint an attorney for the defendant

the end of the case, they may be asked to pay all or part
of the cost for that attorney, if he/she can afford to.
Right to a Jury Trial - Defendants have
the right to a speedy, public jury trial. At the trial, the
defendant is presumed innocent, and cannot be convicted unless
12 impartial jurors have been convinced of the defendant's
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Right to Confront Witnesses - Defendants
have the right to confront and cross-examine all witnesses
testifying against them.
Right Against Self-Incrimination - The defendant
has the right to remain silent, to prevent self-incrimination,
and the right to testify on their own behalf.
Right to Produce Evidence - The defendant
has the right to present evidence and to have the court issue
a subpoena to bring into court all witnesses and evidence
favorable to them, at no cost to them.
