After reading Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) [Book 2], explain the following: (i) Which constitutional amendment is at issue in the case, and what right(s) does it encompass? (ii) What did the United States Supreme Court decide in this case and why? (iii) How could you argue that criminal defense for the indigent IS working the way it should, even after watching this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJEsIhNyuC8] that focuses on HBO’s “Gideon’s Army?” In Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), Clarence Gideon committed a non capital offense and requested an attorney. He was denied his right to counsel because the state of Florida only appointed one to indigent defendants in capital cases (Oyez.com). Gideon’s Sixth Amendment right to legal counsel was violated, the Sixth Amendment guarantees, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense” (Oyez.com). Gideon represented himself, was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison. He petitioned to the courts that his Sixth Amendment right was violated. In 1963 the Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment right guaranteed all defendants facing a criminal trial of misdemeanor and felony offenses the right to counsel and it should be a fundamental right embraced by the Fourteenth Amendment to guarantee a fair trial (Hemmens, 2014). Gideon’s case was reversed and remanded to the Florida Supreme Court. The YouTube video “HBO Shows Criminal Defense of Poor Is a Fiasco” regarding the HBO documentary “Gideon’s Army” portrayed that America’s indigent defense system also known as public defenders are in a state of crisis. Public defenders are attorney that are overwork, underpaid, the organization is underfunded and they heavy caseloads. Eighty-percent of people that are arrested are eligible for public defenders, ninety-five percent pleads guilty to the offense (Alpern, HBO Shows Criminal Defense of Poor Is a Fiasco). The criminal defense for the indigent is not working and it is unfair to our constitutional rights to have effective counsel. If I was to argue that the criminal defense for the indigent IS working I would state that the use of public defenders in the criminal justice system upholds the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. In addition public defenders represents the indigent at no cost. They have access to resources in the court and they are knowledgeable in the criminal justice field. Public defenders are able to negotiate better with prosecutors and judges on behalf of their clients. Many of indigent defendants that use public defenders are able to get their sentences and charges reduced. Reference Alpern, E. (Videojournalist). (2013, August 13).
