to know waht they are being accused of - be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says may be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent them

Added: (in the US) this warning (i.e.: The Miranda Warning), need not be given coincidental to the arrest, but MUST be administered PRIOR TO any interrogation of the arrestee is begun.

There are more than 5. They include: the right to due process of law (5th Amdmt), the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases 6th Amdmnt), the right to a speedy trial (6th Amdmnt), the right to legal counsel (6th Amdmt) and the right to confront a witness (6th Amdmt). The Constitution also protects an individual accused of a crime from: unreasonable searches and seizures (4th Amdmt), cruel and unusual punishment (8th Amdmt), self-incrimination (5th Amdmt), double jeopardy (5th Amdmt), excessive bail or fines (8th Amdmt), loss of life, liberty and property without due process of the law (5th Amdmt). It also provides for a grand jury indictment in criminal cases (5th Amdmt). In Gideon v. Wainwright, ths Supreme Court also decided that not only do you have the right to legal counsel, but if you cannot afford it you will be provided legal counsel free of charge.

In the U.S., there are far more than 5 major rights enjoyed by those accused of crimes, and many of them are often referred to collectively as "due process"

The major rights enjoyed by the accused include, but are not limited to:

* A presumption of innocence (thereby placing the burden on the prosecution to prove guilt, rather than on the defendant to prove his own innocence)

* The prosecutor being required to prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt" - the highest standard of proof that exists in the legal system * The right to confront adverse witnesses * The right to be indicted by a grand jury * The right to counsel * The right to a speedy and public trial * The right to trial by jury * Protection from cruel and unusual punishment * Protection from excessive bail or fines * Protection from double jeopardy * The right to notice of the accusations against the defendant

In Salem, those accused of witchcraft were given two options. One option was to submit to a trial, which consisted of tying the accused to a board and dunking the person in a "pure'' pond while the deacon slowly recited the Lord's Prayer three times.

No one recalled any acquittals as a result of this process.
