For the Defendant (Gideon v. Wainwright)
Judge Judy Sheindlin and her team recreate the trials of Clarence Gideon, a Florida man accused in 1963 of burglarizing a pool hall. Forced to defend himself in court due to Florida law, Gideon was found guilty. While in prison, his successful appeal to the Supreme Court effectively created the Public Defender system we have today. Now armed with a savvy attorney, would Gideon win his freedom?
