What Rights Do I Have If I'm Accused of a Crime in NY?
If you are accused of a crime, you have several rights under the United States Constitution and other laws. These include:
- Right to Remain Silent: Under the Fifth Amendment, you have the right not to incriminate yourself. This means you can refuse to answer any questions until you have an attorney present.
- Right to an Attorney: The Sixth Amendment gives you the right to have legal representation during criminal proceedings. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
- Right to a Fair Trial: The Sixth Amendment also guarantees you the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury.
- Right to Confront Witnesses: You have the right to cross-examine witnesses who testify against you and to call your own witnesses.
- Right to Due Process: The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee your right to due process, which means that the government must respect all your legal rights before it can deprive you of life, liberty, or property.
- Presumption of Innocence: Until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, you are presumed innocent.
- Protection Against Double Jeopardy: The Fifth Amendment protects you from being tried twice for the same crime.
- Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures: The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant or probable cause.
It's important to remember these rights if you are ever accused of a crime. If you believe any of your rights have been violated, you should contact our NY criminal defense attorney immediately.
