 Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses. Ratified 12/15/1791.


"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."


Explanation of Connection: Governor Blagojevich of Illinois was arrested and accused in the 76-page criminal complaint of a wide-ranging conspiracy that included selling the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama on December 9th, 2008. On December 31, 2008 the U.S. attorney's asked a federal judge for an extra three months to formally indict Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his former chief of staff. The U.S. attorney stated that they needed an extension because they had several hours of taped recordings of the Governor's phone calls that needed to be examined, and they had several witnesses that were willing to come out and tell what they knew about the criminal activity of the Governor.
 
Amendment clearly states that anyone who is accused has the right to a fast trial by a jury who is impartial. If more time was given to the attorney the possible people who would sit on the jury would have more time to listen to the facts that come out on TV or in the newspapers. Their opinions might be affected. This would violate the rights of the accused person, in this case, the Governor.
 
I feel that everyone who is accused  should have a speedy trial that is heard by an impartial jury.
even though they might be guilty the constitution was written so everyone has rights. It would be unconstitutional not to give the accused their rights.
