Answer to Question 1

Right to a speedy trial: The Sixth Amendment guarantees a defendant the right to a speedy trial.

Right to a jury trial: The Sixth Amendment holds this right, and the Fourteenth Amendment applies this fundamental right to the states; the majority of states and the federal courts still require a unanimous verdict. Right to be free from double jeopardy: The Fifth Amendment provides that a defendant cannot be prosecuted by a jurisdiction more than once for a single offense. Right to legal counsel: The Sixth Amendment provides the right to be represented by an attorney in criminal trials even if indigent. Right to be competent at trial: In order to stand trial, a criminal defendant must be considered mentally competent to understand the nature and extent of the legal proceedings. If a defendant is considered mentally incompetent, the trial must be postponed until treatment renders the defendant capable of participating in his or her own defense. Right to confront witnesses: The accused has the right to confront witnesses to challenge their assertions and perceptions; in cases of child witnesses, they can testify via closed-circuit television as long as safeguards have been set up to protect the defendant's rights.
