In today's era, the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution assures every citizen the right to counsel, a speedy trial, access to witnesses, and an impartial jury.

For this assignment, you will discuss the threats to providing an impartial jury, especially in cases that are well known to the media.

In your response, please address the following:

• Research three recent or historical cases about the Sixth Amendment.
• Identify what options are available to the courts to ensure the fundamental fairness that may be      threatened by media exposure.
• Explain potential threats that exist when trying to protect the rights of the accused from a      media frenzy.
• In a world that seems to record everything, describe how that presents an additional challenge to      due process?
• Identify one other threat to due process and successfully providing an impartial trial.

You must be sure to provide a full synopsis of each case to support your viewpoints and statements about challenges to due process.

Choose the single most important aspect of the Sixth Amendment and defend your position about why it is the most important—be sure to include a discussion of what would be the impact if that aspect was omitted from the Sixth Amendment.

Your completed assignment should be at least 600 words and utilize at least one outside source, which may be your textbook. All sources must be cited and referenced per APA guidelines.
