Suppose that a woman named Harriet Miller comes before the judge in a pre trial hearing. She's charged with stealing thousands of dollars from her employer. She pleads guilty. What are Harriet's rights under the sixth amendment?
The Sixth Amendment is the right to speedy trial, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you. Harriet has the right to a lawyer and a speedy trial, even though she pleads guilty.
