Also, criminals have a right to a procedural due process before anything is deprived from them. In addition, criminals have a right to trial, and are innocent till proven guilty. No one who gets arrested is put in prison right away, because although there might be probable cause for the arrest, the jury and the judge are the ones that make the final decision.

The people in the jury are regular citizens who are asked multiple questions by the attorneys to make sure there is no bias within the jury. Though they have this option granted to them, some accused just take a plea bargain. Criminals have the right to an attorney, and to protect this, if one cannot afford an attorney, the government provides one for them. In keeping the criminals rights safe and still being able to search for the truth, criminals are still given a speedy and public trial, confrontation of witnesses for both sides of the case, and not being forced to testify amongst ones self.]]> 2019-03-28 13:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kersten_seeley/dc27nb2alz9z/wish/346119366
