This vintage edition of “The defendant’s rights” by David Fellman offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of criminal justice and civil liberties in the United States. Published in the midst of the tumultuous 1960s, a time of great social upheaval and civil rights activism, this work explores the constitutional protections afforded to those accused of crimes. Fellman’s insightful analysis delves into the evolution of legal precedents and landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped the interpretation of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments, shedding light on the delicate balance between individual rights and the administration of justice. For collectors and legal scholars, this well-preserved copy represents a valuable artifact from a pivotal era in American jurisprudence, offering a window into the ongoing debates surrounding due process, self-incrimination, and the right to counsel. Fellman’s erudite yet accessible prose makes this volume a compelling read for anyone interested in the foundations of our criminal justice system and the enduring legacy of the Bill of Rights.
