5th-8th amendments

Witness- someone who sees an event and reports what happened.


Indict- accused of a crime.


Testify- give testimony in a court of law.


Grand Jury- listens to the indicts and the accusations, and decides whether they are guilty or not.


Due Process- laws must be fair.


Capital Punishment- execution: a person being killed for something they've done.


Excessive- beyond normal limits.


Bail- release after a security has been paid.


Peer
- a person who is of equal standing with another in a group


I think that after someone is accused of a serious crime, they should not get all the rights they had before. Simply because they cannot be trusted. If they committed a crime once, they what would stop them from doing it again. But I think the only ones that shouldn't get all the rights, are the ones who committed a very serious crime, such as stealing many items, murder or kidnapping. Also, kids under the age of 14, should only lose some of their rights for a certain amount of time, and if they prove that they deserve to have them back, then they could gradually get their rights back.
