Hi there!

The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution concerns the right to trial and includes the phrase "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury". This Amendment, which is part of the Bill of Rights, ensures that Americans can not be held accountable for a crime without a fair and speedy trial involving a grand jury.
