- Next week, HBO's Summer Documentary Series rolls on with the brave story of a few southern public defenders and their struggle against injustice in Gideon's Army, premiering Monday at 9:00. In 1961, Clarence Earl Gideon was arrested for stealing soda and a few dollars from a pool hall. Unable to afford an attorney, he was convicted after representing himself at trial. Gideon appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, which ruled unanimously that the right to counsel in a criminal case is fundamental to the American system of justice. Fifty years after the landmark Gideon v. Wainwright case, most of them will be represented by one of the United States’ 15,000 public defenders. Check out the trailer below.
