Appellate assistance for indigent defendants was not always recognized as a legal and constitutional right
In deciding that indigent defendants must receive free legal counsel when they wish to make an appeal, one of the reasons the Court gave for its decision A) involved a reinterpretation of what the framers of the Sixth Amendment intended when they spoke of the right to counsel. B) indicated a concern that young legal talent was wasted unless new members of the bar engaged in some appellate experience early in their careers. C) was a reference to an early legal treatise, the Federalist Papers, where Alexander Hamilton called for appellate assistance in all cases involving persons too poor to pay for an attorney. D) noted its concern that the type of justice a person would receive in the appellate courts would be too closely related to the amount of money that the person possessed. E) was that a free trial transcript would be of little use to a defendant appealing a case where the defendant did not understand the legal language unless an attorney was provided to help make sense of the legal jargon.
