The Fifth and Sixth: Suspects' Procedure
Captions available
The idea
The Fifth secures the right to remain silent, bars double jeopardy, twice tried at one level for one act, and limits takings, eminent domain. The Sixth ensures a speedy public trial by an impartial jury, counsel, and the right to confront witnesses.
In practice
Miranda: those rights stated at arrest.
Where people slip
Plea bargains trade guilty pleas for leniency.
