Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) In Florida, Clarence Earl Gideon was charged with breaking and entering. In court, he asked the judge to assign him a lawyer since he couldn’t afford to pay for one. The court denied his request, and Gideon was sentenced to prison. Florida law said that only a person facing the death penalty could have a free, court-appointed lawyer. Gideon wrote a letter to the Supreme Court claiming that his right to equal protection and legal representation was violated. The Court agreed. They ruled that courts must provide lawyers for criminal defendants who cannot afford their own. What if the Court had upheld Florida’s law?
