When you think about trials, many questions come to mind. What is a process? What does a trial involve? Who are the participants in a trial? Among all the participants, how do they contribute to the process, what are their tasks? What are the aspects of a trial and how do the aspects affect the fairness of the trial. How does our Constitution contribute to a process and how does it create fairness in the system? Within the body of this article I will educate the reader about the testing system and answer any questions a person may have on the topic. I will use the research I have done to educate the reader about trials, trial fairness, and how I believe trials can be made fairer. There are different types of trials in our criminal justice system. Each different process has its own goal or duty in our system. We will focus on criminal trials. It is important to understand what a process is. A trial is when two parties come together to have a dispute. There is information presented which is called evidence. Evidence is anything that can be used to demonstrate the truth of a statement. Evidence is material or truth used to prove. In the process there are several characters performing tasks. The trial usually takes place in a courtroom before a judge and jury. The accused is the person subjected to trial. It is represented by his defense. The prosecutor is the person who will try to prove the guilt of the accused. There are witnesses who will be used as or to support evidence during the trial. The judge avails himself of the help of a judicial officer. There is a recorder to document everything that is said during the trial. I will go into detail about each person's job during the process and what their duties consist of. In the middle of the doc, with the murders, it's about serving justice. This was a great movie to open your eyes to the justice system and how murderers can be punished for throwing someone else under the bus. A defendant is the individual who has been accused of a crime and is on trial. A defendant in a criminal trial is usually in the custody of the justice system, having been arrested and escorted to trial. It is up to the defendant to hire a lawyer or his defense to represent him during the trial. A defendant is protected by the Constitution and has the right to have a lawyer appointed if he cannot afford one. When the Miranda rights are read to someone who has been arrested, it states: “You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.” These rights are protected by the Fifth Amendment.
