UMKC POLISCI-210


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 defence.

Any one person is to have a trial in as fast a manner as possibly given by any jury members to be impartial, non biased members in the district of which the crime was committed and be told the exact reasons as to why the person is being tried in the first place. He can gain any lawyer and any witnesses the defendent is thought that could help their trial process for the betterment of their life.

As I said, many people do not gain a very "speedy"trial as it can take months,years for an actual conviction to be given. All evidence and witness statement has to be said and given to the court and gaining such evidence takes as long as getting an actual court date. Courts are always swamped with a ton of cases and so getting to a new one has to go through the due process of law in the order that it becomes available to be tried by a judge and jury of their peers.

A play on words of a "speedy" trial with lawyers present in the court of a jury and a judge in a ruling. The fact that this is an imaginary character gives a metaphor of the fact that court trials are not really speedy at all. They are an imaginary force in the court system, a farce. Speed only pertains to as fast as possible and usually it isn't very fast.
