Gideon's Trumpet by Anthony Lewis

For over a decade, Earl of Clarence of Gideon was buried in an unnamed, unmarked tomb in Hannibal, Missouri State. Most Americans (and many of them) other than lawyers do not recognize the name of Gideon nor understand the influence of his earthquake on our legal system. Fortunately, a famous journalist, Anthony Lewis, retiring from the New York Times, recorded the legacy of Gideon's application for a written petition filed on March 18, 1963 to the Supreme Court.

Based on Anthony Lewis' s book of the same name, Henry Fonda of the 1980 movie "Gideon's Trumpet" depicts Gideon. This movie was aired on television for the first time as part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame series and co-starred with Jose Ferrer who asked Gideon to be the best in America. The court hired a lawyer. Fonda was nominated for Emmy Award by Gideon's depiction

Events Gideon spent in prison seem to have been adjusted according to the movie. In fact, this case has become a movie. According to Anthony Lewis's book, Henry Fonda explained Gideon in the 1980 movie "Gideon's Trumpet". Prisoner Gideon began using his time and the prison library to study the American legal system. He began to believe that in accordance with the appropriate procedural provisions of Article 14 of the amendment to the US Constitution, judges infringed the constitutional rights of lawyers under Article 6 amendment applicable to Florida.

This episode features one of the attorneys advocated by Bruce Jacobs, Professor at Stetson University Law School, and Gideon v. Lite Supreme Court. Author of the book "New York Times" author Anthony Lewis' archive author and famous book author tells the Supreme Court case "Gideon's trumpet". He said he did not do this. But Gideon sinned for five years and he was convinced that he did not have a lawyer to protect him. When his case began to be heard, he asked a lawyer in the court. (He is too poor to go out to buy a lawyer.) But his request was rejected. So he stood in court alone, interrogated witnesses, presented evidence, made conclusions, and tried to make the jury believe he was innocent.
