What are my Due Process rights in a criminal case?

Due process of law is the essence of such familiar and fundamental concepts as liberty, fair play, and justice in the United States.  Due process protections are guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and are at the core of all  criminal proceedings to the extent the Government wishes to deprive its citizens of life, liberty or property.  Though the guarantee is considered too broad to define in any exact or precise sense, it does offer the following  protections in criminal proceedings, which must be faithfully observed by the Government:

1. You have the right to receive notice of charges in a timely fashion.

2. You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

3. You have the right to be presented with a search warrant. Without one, it is unlawful for the police or any government official to enter your home, search, or seize your property.

4. You have the right to be presented with a warrant for your arrest unless the police actually saw you commit a crime or have probable cause to believe you have committed a crime based on their personal investigation at the scene.

5. You have the right to a writ of habeas corpus if you are arrested and imprisoned.

6. You have the right to remain silent and speak with an attorney before making any statement to the authorities.

7. You have the right to confront your accuser and to cross-examine witnesses against you.

8. You have the right to refuse to answer questions that might incriminate you.

9. You have the right to a transcript of all proceedings, hearings, and trials though you will have to order and pay for them unless you are found to be indigent.

10. You have the right to appeal any findings of a lower court to an intermediate appellate court and you have an absolute right to have your appeal considered by the Ohio Supreme Court if you've been sentenced to death for murder. 

11. You have the right to subpoena witnesses and any documents or other evidence that may support your position or contradict evidence presented against you.

12. You have a right to a trial by jury in all criminal matters that may be punished by imprisonment by an impartial jury of your peers.

13. You have the right to the protection and provisions of the Constitution of the United States and the Ohio Constitution.

14. You have the right to protections expressly created in statute and case law precedent.

15. You have the right to equal protection of the law regardless of race, creed, color, religion, ethnic origin, age, handicaps, or sex.

16. You have the right to a remedy, by recourse to the laws, for all injuries or wrongs that you may receive in your person, property, or character.

17. You have the right to justice, without being obliged to purchase it; completely, and without any denial; promptly, and without undue delay; in conformance with the laws.
