Witness - Somebody that has seen someone do something, or something happen.
Indict -To bring a criminal to trial.
Testify - To give testimony under oath or solemn affirmation, usually in court.
Grand Jury - A jury, at common law, of 12 to 23 persons, designated to inquire into violations of the law in order to ascertain whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant trial.
Due Process - the administration of justice according to established rules and principles.
Capital Punishment - Punishment by death for a crime; death penalty.
Excessive - Going beyond the usual.
Bail - You can pay for someone to leave jail.
Peer - Property or money given as surety that a person released from custody will return at an appointed time.
I think that people who have committed crimes should be able to have these same rights because if they didn't have these rights then they could be proved guilty, but not really be guilty. I agree that everyone in this country deserves a fair trial, and that they should be able to have a say in what they are being tried for.
