defendant's table
The defendant's table is a designated area in a courtroom where the accused person, known as the defendant, sits during a trial. This table is typically located near the front of the courtroom, allowing the defendant to be close to their legal representation, often referred to as the defense attorney.
At the defendant's table, the defendant can consult with their attorney, review evidence, and participate in the proceedings. The table is usually positioned opposite the prosecution, which represents the state or government in criminal cases. This setup helps maintain order and clarity during legal proceedings.
