The Right to Counsel is the story of Clarence Earl Gideon, an unemployed drifter who was arrested in Florida and charged with burglarizing a pool hall. Because he could not afford an attorney, Gideon asked for one, and was turned down. He was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to five years in prison. Believing the U.S. Constitution was on his side, Gideon took his case all the way to the Supreme Court. The author explores the case, its impact on the U.S. legal system, and the movie made about it, Gideon's Trumpet, which starred Henry Fonda.
