Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS
Section 10 - RIGHTS OF ACCUSED IN CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS
In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have a speedy public trial by an impartial jury. He shall have the right
to demand the nature and cause of the accusation against him, and to have a copy thereof. He shall
not be compelled to give evidence against himself, and shall have the right of being heard by himself
or counsel, or both, shall be confronted by the witnesses against him and shall have compulsory
process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, except that when the witness resides out of the State and
the offense charged is a violation of any of the anti-trust laws of this State, the defendant and the
State shall have the right to produce and have the evidence admitted by deposition, under such rules
and laws as the Legislature may hereafter provide; and no person shall be held to answer for a
criminal offense, unless on an indictment of a grand jury, except in cases in which the punishment
is by fine or imprisonment, otherwise than in the penitentiary, in cases of impeachment, and in cases
arising in the army or navy, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.
