5th through 8th Amendments

Witness: A witness is someone that sees, hears, or knows something about something.

Indict: Indict is to be charged with a crime; or charged with wrong doing.

Testify: Testify is to give or afford evidence of in any manner.

Grand jury: Is 12 to 23 people designated to investigate alleged violations of the law.

Due process: An establish course for judicial proceedings.

Capital punishment: The penalty of death for the commission of a crime.

Excessive: Excessive means going beyond what you usually do in normal day life.

Bail: To grant or to obtain liberty of someone that is under arrest.

Peer: A person who is equal to another in abilities qualifications, age, background, and social status.


I think that the person that is being accused of the crime is innocent until proven guilty. But if the person that is being of a crime is like a cereal killer then maybe he doesn't deserve those rights.
