Change in Criminal Rights

     Criminals have been around for an entire life. Many of them have pay for something they never did, others have been never caught. In the past, criminals could not give an opinion or argue on the judges decision. People was afraid of the court and thought it was better to agree with it.
     In past centuries, criminals didn't had the right of a fair trial, like they have know; they had two options or they confess, blame other people or they were put in to jail and later be killed. Many of those criminals were sentenced, because they dint knew how to defend themselves or to manage how and when to say the right thing. Today, everyone has the right to have a judge no matter what is your economic status. When people have been accused or caught by a police officer they have the right to stay silent. If these people say anything it could be used against them. Today, if they don't like the judges decision and there is no proof you have the right to have another trial; this would cost more to the person since they have to pay its defender for fighting to obtain this. Criminals who have been sentenced to be put in jail have the right to ask for more privileges at jail or ask to accomplish their sentence in their homes; these is done to the high status people.
     In the past, criminals didn't had so much options if they were caught doing something wrong. Today they have many privileges in which they need to know how to take advantage of them in order to succeed. Many of these criminals still are discriminated by society; even though they are not in jail anymore.
