6 th Amendment By What is the 6

6 th Amendment By:

What is the 6 th Amendment? � The 6 th amendment sets forth rights related to criminal prosecutions.

7 rights listed in the 6 th Amendment � The right to a speedy trial � The right to a public trial � The right to be judged by an impartial jury � The right to be notified of the nature and circumstances of the alleged crime � The right to confront witnesses who will testify against the accused � The right to find witnesses who will speak in favor of the accused

The groups thought � Although we like the 6 th amendment we also think that it has a flaw. Based on what we have read about cases the right to be confronted with the witnesses against the defendant has a big loop hole. The loop hole is if the witness is not there the defendant can say that he or she is not getting his or her full rights. Other than that we think that the 6 th amendment is a decent amendment.

Supreme weights 6 th Amendment issue Dwayne Giles shot and killed his ex girlfriend. He told the supreme court to overturn his conviction because he wasn’t allowed to confront her in court. Even though it sounds crazy because he didn’t get to cross examine his claim he could win in the supreme court. The 6 th amendment gives the right to see all the witnesses and since he didn’t get to face her in court he might get of the hook.
