Gideon's trumpet the poor man and the law
When Clarence Earl Gideon was tried, "justice for all" did not include providing an attorney for an impoverished defendant accused of a noncapital felony. A virtual unknown, the mild-mannered convict boldly appealed to the highest court in the land, seeking redress--and won. This 1964 program documents the case of Gideon v. Wainwright, which indirectly led to Gideon's acquittal and freedom. Interviews with Gideon and other principals, including Justice Arthur Goldberg, defense attorney Abe Fortas, and state and federal prosecutors, bring this landmark case of the Warren Court era to life.
