CASE 7.1 Like many other provisions of the U.S. Constitution, the Sixth Amendment has a different meaning today than it did when it was first ratified. In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that, based on the Sixth Amendment's provision of right to counsel, indigent defendants charged with a felony are entitled to the services of a lawyer paid for by the government (Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963). Later, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel was extended to juvenile court proceedings as well (In re Gault, 1967). But as so often happens, answering one question raised several new ones. Which of the following issues did the court wrestle with following the Gideon decision?
A. nonfelony criminal prosecutions B. stages of the criminal process C. self-representation D. The court wrestled with all of these issues following the Gideon decision.
