Unfair Criminal Justice

Offenders who are being tried in federal court are guaranteed adequate counsel by the sixth amendment of the United States Constitution. Counsel is appointed by a federal judge. These attorneys are even provided to individuals who can’t pay for services rendered. However, the Criminal Justice Act provides some levels of compensation for certain services, such as investigative work, provided to the accused offender. They are also paid an hourly rate for their services. I think this method of appointment is fair. All people are entitled to an unbiased trial with adequate representation. Since many offenders come from a background of poverty, without this service many of these offenders would not receive adequate representations in a trail.
