The Right to Adequate Representation. Indigent defendants who are represented by appointed lawyers and defendants who can afford to hire their own attorneys are both entitled to adequate representation.
But "adequate representation" does not mean perfect representation. However, an incompetent or negligent lawyer can so poorly represent a client that the court is justified in throwing out a guilty verdict based on the attorney's incompetence. If a defendant's lawyer is ineffective at trial and on direct appeal, the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial has been violated.

Her prayers were finally answered -- justice in the murder of her daughter, Martha, when Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel was convicted in the murder. For the Moxleys it was the end of a long ordeal.

Means, Attorney at Law, Thomas and Means, LLP, Baltimore, Maryland atrol officers and investigators often want to use, as evidence in criminal trials, statements that were made by the defendant and are incriminating in nature. Whatever the degree to which a defendant's prior statements are incriminating, it is likely that the prosecutor's efforts to use the statements at trial will be met with defense objections, often in the form of pretrial motions to suppress the statements. When these defense objections or motions are argued, the defense attorney will try to show that the incriminating statements were obtained illegally. If the prosecution cannot prove the contrary, the statements generally may not be used at trial, because of the "exclusionary rule" or "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. This discussion focuses on whether police may attempt interrogation after a person attempts to assert a right to counsel.

The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
The Fourth Amendment, however, is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law. Whether a particular type of search is considered reasonable in the eyes of the law, is determined by balancing two important interests. On one side of the scale is the intrusion on an individual's Fourth Amendment rights. On the other side of the scale are legitimate government interests, such as public safety. JOHN E.

Police may engage in deceptive and coercive interrogations to obtain confessions. When a confession is later retracted, judges and juries must assess the totality of the circumstances surrounding the confession, including the interrogation techniques used and the effects of these tactics on the particular defendant. A suspect who is vulnerable and confused or who is given false evidence by a coercive interrogator may produce a false confession. Expert testimony may be necessary to help jurors understand the circumstances that lead to nonvoluntary confessions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
