Al Smith was accused of stealing a television set and arrested. The police told Al that witnesses saw him take the television set. During his court trial, Al is not allowed to hear or see the witnesses. What should happen, according to the principle of due process and the U.S. Constitution? The case will be dismissed because Al has a right to hear and respond to the witnesses against him. The case will be dismissed because Al has a right to a speedy and public trial. The case will be continued because Al will have a lawyer appointed to represent him by the court. The case will be continued because Al will have a lawyer find his own witnesses.
