Defendant's Table
The "Defendant's Table" is a designated area in a courtroom where the defendant sits during a trial. This table is typically located near the judge's bench and is often accompanied by the defendant's legal counsel. It serves as a space for the defendant to consult with their attorney and participate in the proceedings.
In many courtrooms, the defendant's table is positioned opposite the prosecution's table, allowing both sides to present their cases. The layout of the courtroom, including the defendant's table, is designed to ensure a fair trial, where the rights of the defendant are upheld throughout the legal process.
