Amendment VI
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
See the link below.
The accused has the right to a speedy trial (the Prosecutor cannot keep you in jail for months and months while he tries to scratch together evidence for his case.) This right is often waived when the accused has been quickly released on bail, and on advice of attorney.
The criminal proceedings, including the trial, must be open to the public (news cameras may or may not be allowed, but people are almost always allowed.)
The trial shall be by an impartial jury of the accused person's peers, and not by judge alone. Both the prosecution and defense may question prospective jurors to determine impartiality (you cannot try a young black man on a jury of 12 octogenarian white women.) The jury must be from around "your area."
The accused has the right to confront his/her accuser in court, to be represented by a qualified attorney, and to be made aware of the nature of the accusation in plain words. The accused may also compel witnesses who can help his or her case to appear in court and testify.
