As unpopular as violent crimes and violent criminals are in society, individuals accused of violent crimes have the same rights as any other criminal defendant, including the right to an attorney; the right to a jury trial, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right against self-incrimination, and the right to produce evidence. Individuals accused of violent crimes are typically those most in need of these Constitutional safeguards, as emotion and character evidence is often used to taint and sway the minds of the public, the court, and the jury.
