Which of these is a guarantee to a defendant under due process?

Answer
A
a jury
B
a verdict
C
a lawyer
D
a sentence

Explanation

Due process includes the right to legal counsel for a defendant in a criminal case, especially when the defendant cannot afford a lawyer and faces imprisonment. A jury is not guaranteed in every case, while a verdict and a sentence are outcomes of a trial rather than procedural protections. The correct choice is a lawyer.
