Arkansas Real Estate Practice Exam

What rights does the charged person have?

1. The right to a speedy trial

2. The right to cross-examine witnesses and examine evidence

3. The right to a public defender

4. The right to silence

The correct answer is: The right to cross-examine witnesses and examine evidence

A The right to a speedy trial is incorrect because this right only applies if the accused individual is being held in custody. If the accused is not in custody, there is no set timeline for the trial to occur. C: The right to a public defender is incorrect because this right only applies if the accused individual cannot afford their own lawyer. If the individual has the means to hire a private attorney, they do not have the right to a public defender. D: The right to silence is incorrect because this is a privilege against self-incrimination, not a right. This means that the accused individual can choose to remain silent and not testify in their own trial, but it is not a guaranteed right.
