Answer:

Someone accusing another person of a crime needed to take an oath stating that his prosecution was in good faith and present evidence to support his claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The accused had the right to defend himself and remain free during the time the trial was carried out. During the trial, the accused could defend himself or by an advocate who was a public speaker. The trial process is not much different from how a trial is carried out today. The main difference is that the law experts were not the advocates, they offer their advice for free outside the courtroom.

I hope this answer helps you.
