| Gideon asked the court for an attorney but the court refused |
|
 | I dont have a lawyer I have the right to ask for one | |
|
| sorry we only give one to indigent defendant | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The court did not give gideon a lawyer and he was found guilty having a long sentence |
|
| This is unfair i could not afford a lawyer so i had to defend my self in court ! | |
|
| The 14th amentment did not state if a state court was obligated to appoint an attorney to someone who could not afford it | |

|
| After Gideon filed a petition against florida's state court in which the court concluded that every stet court is obligated to give a person the right to an attourney by the 16th amendment |
|
| This went my 14th amendment in which the court violeted my right s and did not give me a fair trial | |
|
| Now the 16th amendment garantees assistance to anyone who can not afford a lawyer | |
