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.
