Straight From the Document:
Amendment Five- "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury."
Connection:
For the R. Kelly trial, he chose to have a jury. With this decision, when it comes time to decide if the person on trial is guilty or not guilty. It is important to have a choice of having a jury because the judge may be bias and the person may have a better chance of getting off with a smaller penalty, depending on the crime at hand. This connects to the fifth amendment by showing that the person has a choice of having a jury or not and if it can help you.
