The video discusses the case of Clarence Earl Gideon, who was arrested for breaking into a poolroom in Florida in 1961. Unable to afford a lawyer, Gideon represented himself and was convicted. He appealed to the Supreme Court, which ruled in Gideon v. Wainwright that the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to legal counsel for all defendants in criminal cases.
