Simple English definitions for legal terms

confrontation

Read a random definition: placitum nominatum

A quick definition of confrontation:

Confrontation: When someone is accused of a crime, they have the right to face the person who is accusing them in court. This is called confrontation. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives this right to the accused person. They can ask questions and object to what the witness is saying.

A more thorough explanation:

Confrontation is a legal term that refers to the right of a defendant in a criminal case to face and cross-examine the witnesses who testify against them. This right is protected by the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him."

For example, if a witness testifies in court that they saw the defendant commit a crime, the defendant's lawyer may cross-examine the witness to challenge their credibility or to point out inconsistencies in their testimony. This allows the defendant to challenge the evidence presented against them and to defend themselves against the charges.

The right to confrontation is an important protection for defendants in criminal cases, as it helps to ensure that the evidence presented against them is reliable and accurate. Without this right, defendants would be at a significant disadvantage in defending themselves against criminal charges.
