Trials

The accused in a criminal case has a right to a trial by a jury pursuant to the 6th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The defense attorney plays a special role in the jury selection process. A person accused of a crime is presumed innocent and this presumption continues throughout trial and entitles a defendant to a verdict of not guilty unless a judge or jury is satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he or she is guilty. A jury verdict in a criminal case must be unanimous.
