write a case brief on Gideon V. Wainwright
Clarence Gideon, a felony suspect in Panama City, was denied counsel's representation and was convicted by the trial judge. The case started in 1961 after Clarence Earl Gideon was arrested. He was charged with attempted theft of a poll hall’s vending machines in Florida. At trial, he could not procure a lawyer; thus, he asked for an attorney’s representation (Cortada, 2020). His request was declined as attorneys were given to suspects with cases resulting in the death penalty.
