       In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Explanation of the 6th Amendment

There are many parts to the Sixth Amendment. One of them is that in any crime, whoever is accused shall have the right to have a quick and public trial. Another part is that the police have to inform the accused of their crime. A third part is that you have the right to a lawyer but if they can't afford one the government must provide one for them.
