A. trial by jury.

B. right to counsel.

C. right to a public trial.

D. None of the above

is it C
Answered by Ms. Sue
I disagree.

What does "speedy trial" mean?

Answered by bobpursley
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right<u> to a speedy and public</u> trial, <u> by an impartial jury </u> 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, <u>and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.</u>

So it provides by trial by jury, counsel, and a public trial. What happened to all of the above.

Perhaps you should read the sixth amendment to your teacher.

It has all the choices that I have in my question. what should i do now?
Answered by Reed
I have no idea what you should do. These quiz questions are poorly worded and the choices you are given are confusing at best. Is this an on-line course or a regular classroom? bobpursley is absolute correct in that the sixth amendment provides all of the above.
Answered by Amy
i'm taking an online course and i have to select one option in order to submit my exam.
Answered by Reed
A,B and C are correct. Check all three, or just one. Your confusion is justified, Amy. I don't think much of this course.
Answered by Amy
thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Here's another opinion.

The question asks about the "speedy trial" provision." Is it possible that the right answer isn't listed -- making D the best choice?

Answered by bobpursley
You should bring a copy of the sixth amendment, and demand a speedy and public trial by your class peers, and to have counsel by your side. The future of the world belongs to those who insist not accepting that which is wrong.



Answered by Reed
Well, it does say "speedy and public trial," so maybe C is the "right" answer in this convoluted question.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Amy -- Please let us know the "right" answer.

Answered by Reed
Yes, please do. I'm very curious to see into the mind of whomever wrote this question and gave the options.
