how did roman law protect the rights of an accused person?
That amendment means that when a person is accused of a crime, the person has a right to a trial that is not delayed too long. The person has a right for the trial to be public and not secret. The person has a right to be judged by people who are fair and have not already made up their minds. The person has a right to know what he's being accused of, and the right to know who is accusing him and who the witnesses are who are against him. The person also has a right to find witnesses in his favor, and the person has the right to get help from a lawyer.
Unless they waive the right (by chossing to represent themselves, for example) they are always entitled to a legal representative.

Officers must tell the suspect that they have the right to remain silent and that they do not have to confuse to their crime.
