The Sixth Amendment provides the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in the district where the crime occurred. It also guarantees the right to be informed of the charges, to confront and subpoena witnesses, and to have the assistance of counsel for one’s defense. The right to counsel was extended to all felony defendants in state courts in Gideon v. Wainwright (1963). The Court has since held that effective representation is required, and that the right applies to any case that could result in a loss of liberty, including misdemeanors. A speedy trial is measured by a balancing test from Barker v. Wingo (1972), weighing the length of delay, reason for delay, the defendant’s assertion of the right, and prejudice.
