Right to Speedy Trial

Judge making a joke

Sixth amendment- Right to Speedy Trial
"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."

The cartoon is about a case in the courtroom and how a man keeps objecting. The judge is angry because this is a speedy trial and the man keeps objecting. This relates to the 6th admendment because the 6th admendment is the right to Speedy trial and that means The Trial has to go fast and cant be continued too many times.
