Betts v. Brady
''Betts v. Brady'', 316 U.S. 455 (1942), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that denied counsel to indigent defendants when prosecuted by a state. It was famously overruled by ''Gideon v. Wainwright''.
== Background ==
In its decision in ''Johnson v. Zerbst'', the Supreme Court had held that defendants in federal courts had a right to counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. In ''Powell v. Alabama'', the Court had held that state defendants in capital cases were entitled to counsel, even when they could not afford it; however, the right to an attorney in trials in the states was not yet obligatory in all cases as it was in federal courts under ''Johnson v. Zerbst''. In ''Betts v. Brady'', Betts was indicted for robbery and upon his request for counsel, the trial judge refused, forcing Betts to represent himself. He was convicted of robbery, a conviction he eventually appealed to the Supreme Court on the basis that he was being held unlawfully because he had been denied counsel.
