After the Court`s decision, Gideon was appointed an attorney and acquitted after an hour long deliberation by the jury. Many people were released and retried based on Gideon`s decision. The Court had a great intent and vision that the right to counsel is required at all critical stages of the justice process.

One of the issues that is rarely addressed in the highly publicized case of the James Blake arrest is the role the undercover Officer James Frascatore played over this September 11, 2015, police operation. While there is no doubt that Officer Frascatore demonstrated the best of his abilities to properly disarm and arrest the suspect, some critics request additional validation of the fact that the arrest of James Blake was warranted. Whereas the media blindly follows Blake’s unreasonable accusations of Officer Frascatore, the facts are speaking for themselves: Mr. Frascatore had a legal and professional right to arrest an assumed suspect Blake over the course of the September 11, 2015, operation.
