his failure to testify be comment-
ed upon by the prosecution.
Our courts provide many safe-
guards tor the innocent against
false accusations of crime. But
many of these rights would be val-
ueless without the assistance of a
lawyer, who has been schooled in
legal principles and rules of stat-
ute or decision involved, to invoke
these rights. The “right to coun-
time one of your legal rights has
been denied or any of your pro-
perty has been unlawfully taken.
This is one of your most precious
rights. The courts are the only
peaceful means of enforcing your
rights.

Rights of Accused Explained
Most criminals have a good idea
of their rights in court, but the
average citizen, confronted with a
traffic ticket or court summons,
has little knowledge of the pro-
tections provided for him. Having
had little experience with the
courts, he is apt to view with a
sinking feeling any document re-
quiring his presence in court. How-
ever if he is innocent of the charge
and knows his rights as a citizen
in court, he need have no fear of
appearing before judge and jury.
Probably the most fundamental
and important right is summarized
in the well known adage, “Every
man is innocent until proved guil-
ty.” It is up to the prosecuting
authorities to prove that the per-
son on trial is guilty—and not the
obligation of the person accused
to prove that he is innocent. The
prosecution must prove your guilt
beyond any reasonable doubt, or
you will be acquitted. The mere
fact that you have been given a
ticket or accused of a crime is not
evidence of guilt.
Another important protection is
the right to have a witness whose
testimony you may need subpeon-
aed to appeal* in court and testify.
Many people are reluctant to go
to court when their own rights
are involved, and unless you had
a means for compelling their at-
tendance and testimony, you often
would be unable to prove the facts
necessary for success in your case.
It is the duty of every citizen to
testify if he has information im-
portant to a law suit and is called
upon to do so. The courts can and
do enforce attendance in court
and the giving of testimony.
Certain other safeguards are val-
uable to you. A person may refuse
to testify in any proceeding if he
has a reasonable belief that his
testimony could be used as a basis
of a criminal proceeding against
him. This does not mean, of course,
that a confession given freely and
voluntarily cannot be used as evi-
dence. But it does mean that an
accused cannot be compelled to
take the witness stand. Nor can

if an accused person cannot afford
to pay for legal counsel and de-
sires it, the court must appoint a
lawyer to represent him.
Every person charged with an in-
fraction of the law has a right to
consult counsel before making any
plea. This applies to cases in every
court—including justice of the
peace courts, municipal courts,
traffic courts and district courts.
It does little good to consult a
lawyer after you have pleaded
guilty and paid the fine, for then
the damage has been done.
