In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Speedy Trial
All Americans have the right to a trial if they are accused of a crime. However, this amendment guarantees a speedy trial in the same district as the crime was committed. This Amendment also guarantees that the accused has to be told what they are being prosecuted for. In the case of Batson v. Kentucky, the court removed 3 black men from his jury. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court and the ruling was overturned because Batson had his Sixth Amendment rights violated.
