The U.S. Constitution protects defendants’ rights to be present at their criminal trials, prohibiting the government from holding trials against a defendant in the defendant’s absence.

Key Points: 
  • The U.S. Constitution protects defendants’ rights to be present at their criminal trials, prohibiting the government from holding trials against a defendant in the defendant’s absence.
  • This rule differentiates the United States from other democracies that allow criminal trials to be held in the absence of the accused.
  • For example, Italy tried and convicted Amanda Knox without her presence in Italy for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher.
  • And in federal prosecutions, a federal rule of criminal procedure appears to require the defendant to attend the entire trial.
