The Fifth guarantees the right to a grand jury, prohibits double jeopardy (two prosecutions for the same offense), protects against self-incrimination (you don't have to testify against yourself), and guarantees due process of law. The Sixth guarantees a speedy and public trial, trial by an impartial jury, confrontation of witnesses, and right to counsel (and a few other things not frequently cited). The Eighth prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, and also excessive bail. Additionally, two other Amendments apply to accused persons indirectly: The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights to the States (for the most part). The Fourth Amendment controls how the police may gather evidence.
