Quincy Criminal Defense Blog. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall.have the assistance of counsel for his defense. U.S. Constitution, Amendment VI. In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled in Gideon v. Wainwright that indigent defendants in criminal cases are entitled to appointed counsel. It was reported yesterday that 89% of those polled oppose providing James "Whitey" Bulger with a publicly appointed lawyer. So it is specious to argue that he has the means to retain counsel.
