Q

You have the right to a speedy and public trial by a court or by a jury.
If you have a court trial, the judge alone will hear the evidence and decide if you are guilty or not guilty. If you have a jury trial, twelve people will be selected by your attorney and prosecutor to hear the case. In order for you to be found guilty, all twelve jurors would have to agree to your guilt. The prosecutor will have to prove the case against you beyond a reasonable doubt.

A

Usted tiene el derecho a un juicio rápido y público ante un juez o ante un jurado. Si usted tuviera un juicio ante un juez, dicho juez solo conocerá las pruebas y decidirá si usted es culpable o no. Si tuviera un juicio ante un jurado, doce personas será elegidas por su abogado y por el procurador para que conozcan la causa. Para que lo hallen culpable, los doce miembros del jurado tendrán que estar de acuerdo con su culpabilidad. El procurador tendrá que probar la causa en su contra más allá de toda duda razonable.

Q

You also have the right against self-incrimination.
That means that no one can force you to say
anything against yourself unless you want to. However, when you plead guilty, you give up this right because you are admitting each and every element of the offense.

A

Usted también tiene el derecho a no incriminarse a si mismo. Eso significa que nadie puede obligarlo a que diga nada en su contra a menos que usted quiera hacerlo. Sin embargo, cuando usted se declare culpable, estará cediendo a este derecho porque estará aceptando cada uno de los elementos del delito.
