I found an original copy of The Bill of Rights, and it seems there were some typos in subsequent copies. Read this original, and see if you can spot the parts that were left out of the copies we've been reading all these years.

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger, except by a probate judge; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, except by a probate judge; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, except by a probate judge; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation, except by a probate judge.

That's not the original. That's the one they're using now...
