Question

30 POINTS A woman is accused of a crime. She says that she was nowhere near the scene of the crime. Her friends who were with her are afraid that they will be accused as well, so they refuse to appear in court as witnesses. How can the woman’s counsel use the Sixth Amendment’s witness clause to support her case? Give your response in at least two complete sentences.

Answer 1

Sample response: The Sixth Amendment says that the accused has the right to force the witnesses to come to trial. If they do not come, they will be arrested.

Answer 2

They can use The Sixth Amendment's witness clause to support her case by ensuring that she gets a fair trial with a Lawyer and that she Also Knows the accusers of this crime and call the witness to her side ( Like her friends).  She has the right to know what she is being accused of, the charges that go with it and an Unbiased jury. ( impartial jury)  Hope is helps :)
