After reading a bit about Ryan Widmer (what is located in this module What happened to Sarah Widmer?), do you have any opinions about what type of Constitutional Due Process an individual (or business) deserves during a court proceeding. Your text book states:

Proceduraldue process requires that any government decision to take life, liberty, or property must be made equitably. In other words, the government must give a person proper notice and an opportunity to be heard. Fair procedures must be used in determining whether a person will be subjected to punishment or have some burden imposed on her or him.

Additionally, the Due Process Clause of the Constitution protects against government action that deprives a person of a protected liberty interest without adequate justification and/or administrative procedure.

From what you have read explain a few things that could go wrong with a legal proceeding that would violate a defendant's due process. For example, in Ryan's case, his jury evaluated evidence without his knowledge. You can list some the problems you may envision could/would happen in a court proceeding or leading up to a trial. Why is it so important for criminal defendants to have due process? How could due process violations hurt Business Defendants or Company's in a civil matter?
