Explain the rights to counsel under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. What are the differences?

What will be an ideal response?


The difference between the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to counsel deserves emphasis. The
Fifth Amendment right attaches during all custodial interrogation. The Sixth Amendment right is
not triggered by custody but rather by the initiation of adversary judicial proceedings. These
begin when a formal charge is filed.
