Does an accused have rights? Rights of the Accused

Does an accused have rights? No less than the Constitution provides that no person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without due process of law. It also contains a provisions stating that, in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved, and shall enjoy the right to be heard by himself and counsel, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation against him, to have a speedy, impartial and public trial, to meet the witnesses face to face, and to have compulsory process to secure the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence in his behalf. However, after arraignment, trial may proceed notwithstanding the absence of the accused; provided, that the has been duly notified and his failure to appear is unjustifiable.

From these provisions of the fundamental law, one who has a meager understanding of how the law words can readily infer that an accused has a list of rights that cannot be violated. The violation of these rights, of course, cannot be dealt with softly since to do so would be to blatantly disregard the Great Document which itself laid down such rights.
