In criminal law, which of these rights is guaranteed to a defendant during legal proceedings?

The Constitution guarantees defendants due process, which includes protections such as a fair and public trial. The right to a jury does not mean jurors may come from any region regardless of where the crime occurred, and mediation is not a guaranteed substitute for a criminal trial. Presumption of innocence is also a basic principle, but choice A incorrectly makes it depend on assessing the crime scene.
