What was the decision of gideon v wainwright?
In a unanimous opinion, the Court held that Gideon had a right to be represented by a court-appointed attorney and, in doing so, overruled its 1942 decision of Betts v. Brady. In this case the Court found that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of counsel was a fundamental right, essential to a fair trial, which should be made applicable to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Black called it an "obvious truth" that a fair trial for a poor defendant could not be guaranteed without the assistance of counsel. Those familiar with the American system of justice, commented Black, recognized that "lawyers in criminal courts are necessities, not luxuries."

Gideon v. wainwright said that a person has a right to an attorney whether or not he or she cab afford one?
Yes. Gideon v. Wainwright, (1963) specifically prescribed that the states had to provide free counsel to indigent criminal defendants facing the possibility of jail time. In the opinion of the court, Justice Black wrote: "in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person haled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him."The key to this is "criminal defendants" (who are facing jail time); it doesn't apply to defendants/respondents in civil cases.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
