Answer:

According to the Gideon v. Wainwright, Gideon was denied

Access to an attorney

Explanation:

In the Gideon v. Wainwright case, Gideon was denied access to an attorney. Because the judge told him only attorneys were assigned to indigents that couldn't afford attorneys. So Gideon was sentenced with 5 years. However, he appealed that his process had been unconstitutional and after review from the supreme court the case was declared unconstitutional.

Gideon was charged with an offence and forced entry by the Florida State court. When he was indicted in the court he went without a counsellor and asked the bar to provide him with one.

The correct answer is:

Option C. Access to an attorney.

This can be explained as:

  • In this case, Gideon was refused access to an attorney.

  • The judge of the case refused him stating that the lawyers are presented only to indigents that couldn't afford attorneys.

  • Because of this, he got convicted to 5 years in jail. But later he pleaded that the trial was unlawful and unconstitutional.

  • Later the case was opened and the previous hearing was announced invalid.

Therefore, he was denied access to an attorney.
