Defendant rights

Defendants have the right to fair treatment in the legal process, including being informed of charges, having a chance to defend themselves, and remaining silent to avoid self-incrimination. They are entitled to legal representation, can present evidence and question witnesses, and are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Additionally, they have protections against unreasonable searches, double jeopardy, and self-incrimination, ensuring their rights are respected throughout the court proceedings. These rights aim to ensure a just and unbiased trial, safeguarding the defendant’s dignity and legal interests.
