Question

A man is charged with the crime of murder in the First Degree. He is indicted by a grand jury. He can’t afford an attorney, so one is appointed for him. During his speedy, public trial - the jury of his peers finds him guilty. He is executed by lethal injection. Two months later, new information surfaces that proves he was actually innocent of the crime.
Was the due process followed?
If not, what was violated?

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, the due process was not followed. They violated the laws and rules of justice because the speedy trial leads to the violation of justice. If the trial is done with deep investigation so the man did not find guilty and then the violation of justice will not occur. so we can conclude from the discussion that the due process was not fully followed by the grand jury.
