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 defense. The Sixth Amendment states that anybody being prosecuted of a crime has the right to a public trial, where the jury is unbiased and informed of the nature of the crime committed. They are granted assistance (like lawyers) in trial and told what they are being accused for.
