"About The Gideon vs. Florida Case." This case was put in court June 3, 1961. It was about a man who was accused of robbing a pool house in florida, with no evidence of robbery. He was told that he couldnt have a lawyer. Gideon didnt know that was violating the 6th ammendment. Gideon was jailed for 5 years. while he was in jail, he studied the 6th ammendment. When he was free, he went to court again, to state his case. Gideon then, won his case.
This innovation shows how important the 6th ammendment is and that the ammendments are an important part of American society. I learned that Anthony Lewis wrote a book about the case called Gideons Trumpet. I went to the library and took the book out;me and my NHD partner are both going to read the book, so we can both have all the details and facts about the case. I use legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com and economicexpert.com as my research sites;im working on finding some more really good ones. I have a few questions about the case that these sites dont answer, which is why im reading the book.
This innotation is a secondary source. Because it has a history of research,
