Gideon v. wainwright said that a person has a right to an attorney whether or not he or she cab afford one?
Yes. Gideon v. Wainwright, (1963) specifically prescribed that the states had to provide free counsel to indigent criminal defendants facing the possibility of jail time. In the opinion of the court, Justice Black wrote: "in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person haled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him."The key to this is "criminal defendants" (who are facing jail time); it doesn't apply to defendants/respondents in civil cases.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
