The right to trial by juryThe right to trial in a timely mannerThe right to be informed of the nature and cause of all accusations against youThe right to confront witnesses against youThe right to have legal counsel available to youThe right to compel witnesses to testify on your behalf
8th Amendment
The 8th Amendment prohibits excessive bail or cruel and unusual punishment (though it does not define either term).
The Miranda Warnings
In an expansion on the rights set forth in the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court established, in its 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona, that anyone taken into custody be provided with notice of the following:
That they have the right to remain silentThat anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of lawThat they have the right to be represented by counselThat, if they cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for them
Though some of the provisions of Miranda have been weakened, it remains the law of the land.
