The two amendments that Michelle could cite in a federal court that would help her case are the 6th and 14th amendments. The 6th amendment guarantees the right to a fair and speedy trial, including the right to legal counsel and the right to confront witnesses. The 14th amendment provides equal protection under the law and ensures due process.
