Reasons for Constitutional Safeguards
○ 1. A criminal case, an unequal contest - it is of
necessity, unequal contest because the parties
are of unequal strength.
○ 2. Criminal accusations, a very serious matter-
the defendant by merely being accused may find
himself in immediate trouble whether guilty or
not, his reputation is at question. The accused
therefore needs every possible opportunity to
defend himself
○ 3. Protection of innocent, the underlying
purpose-the purpose is to assure that truth will
be discovered and that justice will be done
