A defendant in federal court is an individual or entity accused of violating federal law. Rights of a defendant include the right to a fair trial, the right to legal representation, the right to remain silent, and the right to confront witnesses. Additionally, defendants are entitled to due process under the Fifth Amendment and protection against double jeopardy and self-incrimination. These rights aim to ensure that the legal proceedings are just and equitable.
