The Right to Remain Silent: You are not required to tell the police or anyone else anything about the charges against you. Do not talk to anyone about your case unless your attorney or your Public Defender or his or her representative is with you. The Right to a Lawyer: When you are charged with a crime for which you can go to prison, you have the right to a lawyer. If you do not have the money for a lawyer the Court will refer you to a court appointed lawyer or to the Public Defender’s Office. The Right to Trial by Jury: If you are charged with a serious crime, you have a right to a trial by jury.
