SECTION 8. That in all capital or criminal prosecutions a man hath

a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be

confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence in

his favor, and to a speedy trial by an impartial jury of twelve men

of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found

guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself; that

no man be deprived of his liberty, except by the law of the land or the

judgment of his peers.
