They suck up the guarantees of due process, equal protection chthonic the laws, the up adjust to have legal counsel present, the right to confront witnesses, the right to a dialog box exertion, and the right to not testify against themselves. In the cinema and in real life we see this exclusively the time.For example the style due process was portrayed in the movie was the way that all the information that was against the boys they had the right to have the documents that had the information against them. All defendants get the homogeneous protection regardless of the acts they have committed, in the movie the boys had the right to have a lawyer, they just couldnt afford one so thats why Billy had to call his uncle.Confronting witnesses was the exact act that Uncle Vinny did when he was close to out o f hope, he managed to cause doubts in the jurys look when he showed them that the old woman was nearly blind and when the other twain men also began questioning what they had really seen. The boys also had the right to trial by jury, which just means that the judge doesnt convict the defendant, the jury does instead.The last right defendants have is the right to not testify against themselves, in the movie that was the first thing the boys shouldnt have done because right away they admitted to a crime that they did not do.
