Right to Counsel Elsie M Farias CJA 364/ Criminal Procedure March 27, 2013 Professor Horwath Right to Counsel The Sixth Amendment of the United States constitution grants the right of a person accused of a crime the right to counsel to aid and represent themselves. This is known as the Right to Counsel. The Right to Counsel is founded on the Right to a fair trial. If a defendant is unable to retain their own counsel, they have the right to request one to be appointed to them. The defendant also has the right to not retain or request a lawyer and this turns their representation to Pro Sea which basically means one waives all their rights.

In a Proof of Marriage, the writer Isaeus is trying to convince the jury the wife and mother had a legitimate marriage so the woman can inherit her father Ciron's estate. Like the previous speech, the woman is considered respectable, so her name is not mentioned throughout. A Husband's Defence was written by Lysias.

This is because he is trying to justify why Euphiletus murdered Eratosthenes.
Hoe for instance, had earned a living as a prostitute and by trafficking money until becoming the beneficiary on her sons life insurance policy whom was then murdered coincidentally. To me this is an unstable woman who was mad about losing money. Her revengeful remarks should have nothing to do with the judges decision on sentencing. The Eighth Amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishment. In this case, Fox is being double punished.
In the article selected, Couple Wins Suit, Doc Didn't Suggest Aborting Baby With Down Syndrome, the author, Rebecca Taylor, discusses a court case in Oregon in which Ariel and Deborah Levy filed a lawsuit against their doctor for failing to let them know that their daughter would be born with Down Syndrome. Taylor's subjectivity comes through in almost every word in type.
