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.
This one tied in with the previous Amendment. This guarantees the right to a speedy trail what ever that might mean. Speedy does not always mean speedy. Mostly I would say they move as fast as they can. That has not been defined any more than that. It gives the rights of accused to have the trial where the crime was committed.
This picture is a little outdated but definitely a good representation of the Amendment rights.
