That amendment means that when a person is accused of a crime, the person has a right to a trial that is not delayed too long. The person has a right for the trial to be public and not secret. The person has a right to be judged by people who are fair and have not already made up their minds. The person has a right to know what he's being accused of, and the right to know who is accusing him and who the witnesses are who are against him. The person also has a right to find witnesses in his favor, and the person has the right to get help from a lawyer.
