Right
to an Attorney:
If you are questioned by the police or any
law enforcement agency within the United
States, ALWAYS
demand your right to legal representation
by simply asserting, “I WANT TO TALK TO AN ATTORNEY!” This
simple statement can protect you from police
interrogations and questioning sessions in
which
you might unintentionally implement yourself in a criminal act or
conspiracy.
Right to cross examine and confront witnesses:
You have the right in this country to confront your accusers and cross
exam the truth of their statements.
Right to testify on one's own behalf:
You have the right to testify or not to testify on your own behalf!
Right to remain silent:
You have the right to remain silent or to talk
with any law enforcement agency or agent that you
wish. However, before deciding to speak with one
of these agents you should always seek out the
guidance and professional experience of a qualified
criminal attorney.
Right to speedy trial:
You have the right to a speedy trial.
Right to use courts subpoena power
to compel witnesses to testify:
You have the right to subpoena (or compel, command, direct) a witness to
testify before the court, or produce any information such as papers, books,
ext. that will support your case.
Right to a jury trial (in
most cases):
You have a right to a jury trial in most instances, unless specifically
stated otherwise by the Commonwealth.
Right of presumed innocence:
You ALWAYS are to be presumed innocent until
proven otherwise by the Commonwealth. The burden
of proof (the duty of affirmatively proving a fact
or facts in dispute) in a criminal matter rests
squarely in the hands of the Commonwealth.
