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 defense. According to the Sixth Amendment, a jury must
confront witnesses
have a process for obtaining witnesses
have the Assistance of Counsel
come from the area where the crime was committed
Answer: Come from the area where the crime was committed
Explanation:
The Sixth Amendment in this excerpt shows that in addition to having an impartial jury that is made up of the peers of the accused, that jury also had to be from the area the crime was committed.
By area the Amendment means that the jury should be from the same State and District where the crime was committed. This is probably because these are the people most likely to understand the circumstances involved.
