  7.11 Execution of Law  
  Article 309-Trial  
  Canon 3278  
  A Trial is a test of the facts and arguments presented by the Prosecution versus the Defense relating to one or more Offences against a Person in order to determine Innocence or Culpability.  
  Canon 3279  
  No one shall be liable to be tried or punished again for an offence for which they have already been tried and a final lawfully valid verdict has already been brought, unless medical forensic evidence of a verifiable nature is presented as grounds for a new trial.  
  Canon 3280  
  In principle, justice demands that all trials be in public- that is, are open to the scrutiny of the public, accountable to the public and not held in secret. In this regard, it remains a right of the public to know which men, women or persons, under what charges and at which Court(s) such matters will be heard.
