Rights of Criminal Defendants

The Rights of Criminal Defendants Due process rights Procedural guarantees provided by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments for those accused of crimes Warren Court made several provisions of the Bill of Rights dealing with the liberties of criminal defendants (those charged but not yet tried) applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.

Fourth Amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Fourth Amendment Over the years, the Court has interpreted the Fourth Amendment to allow the police to search: The person arrested Things in plain view of the accused person Places or things that the arrested person could also touch or reach or are otherwise in the arrestee’s immediate control. Court has ruled that police must knock and announce their presence before entering a home or apartment to execute a search

Fourth and Fifth Amendments and the Exclusionary Rule Judicially created rule that prohibits policy from using illegally seized evidence at trial. Weeks v. U.S. (1914) The Court reasoned that allowing police and prosecutors to use a tainted search would only encourage that activity. Mapp v. Ohio (1961) Warren Court ruled that “all evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Constitution, is inadmissible in a state court.” The Court, despite its conservative reputation, has continued to uphold the exclusionary rule.

Fifth Amendment: Self-incrimination and Double Jeopardy Imposes a number of restrictions on the federal government with respect to the rights of persons suspected of committing a crime. “No person shall be…compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” Miranda v. Arizona (1966) Miranda rights Provides for indictment by a grand jury and protection against self-incrimination Prevents the national government from denying a person life, liberty, or property without the due process of law It also prevents the national government from taking property without fair compensation Double jeopardy clause Protects individuals from being tried twice for the same offense

Sixth Amendment and the Right to Counsel Sets out the basic requirements of procedural due process for federal courts to follow in criminal trials These include speedy and public trials, impartial juries, trials in the state where the crime was committed, notice of the charges, the right to confront and obtain favorable witnesses, and the right to counsel Gideon v. Wainwright (1936)

The Sixth Amendment and Jury Trials Provides that a person accused of a crime shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury It also provides defendants the right to confront witnesses against them. Supreme Court has held that jury trials must be available if a prison sentence of six or more months is possible Impartiality of jury Batson v. Kentucky (1986) Right to confront witnesses Maryland v. Craig (1990)

The Eighth Amendment and Cruel and Unusual Punishment Part of the Bill of Rights that states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Furman v. Georgia (1972) Court ended capital punishment Found it was imposed in an arbitrary manner Gregg v. Georgia (1976) Reaction to rewriting of state laws on death penalty Death penalty statute found to be constitutional McClesky cases (1987 and 1991) House v. Bell (2006) DNA evidence Court also ruled in 2006 that death-row inmates could challenge the drugs and procedures involved in lethal injections
