Ferdinard Magellan (1480-1521) leaded the Spanish expedition that was able, for the first time, to circumnavigate around the Earth between 1519 and 1522.

The decision was announced as being unanimous in favor of Gideon, saying “if desired by a defendant who could not afford to hire counsel, was a fundamental right under the United States Constitution, binding on the states, and essential for a fair trial and due process of law regardless of the circumstances of the case.”
