Assignment:
Prior to beginning work on this video presentation, read Fourth Amendment: Search and Seizure, The Difference Between the 5th and 6th Amendment Right to Counsel, Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion, Saul Ornelas and Ismael Ornelas Ledesma, Petitioners v. United States, and Pre-Trial Motions
The fourth, fifth and sixth amendments are the most important of the Bill of Rights which affect criminal law, prosecutions, and defenses in the United States. Consider the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to remain silent, the right to due process, the right to counsel, and the right to a speedy trial as the "Holy Grail" of constitutional protections for those accused of a crime.
Part 1: Your PowerPoint (or equivalent) presentation:
If your last name begins with the letters A through G (fourth amendment). Create a five to eight slide PowerPoint explaining the fourth amendment. Additionally, provide 50 to 75 words of explanations for each of your PowerPoint slides in the discussion area, just as you would present an oral presentation explaining the slides on the topics listed. In your PowerPoint slides and discussions,
List the requirements of the sixth amendment.
Define the key term to have the assistance of counsel for his defense, and explain its meaning in relation to both custodial interrogation and at trial.
Detail what the remedy is for a defendant when a motion is granted for violation of the sixth amendment.
In all presentations, support your observations using a minimum of two scholarly and/or credible sources either from the required readings this week or from independent research that you conduct in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library or online, and properly cite any references.
