See, Ken Strutin's "Truth, Justice, and the American style of plea-bargaining," 77 Albany Law Review 825 (2013). The author of this article, inter alia, was profoundly effective in capturing my attention to a defendant's right to be represented by 'effective counsel'. From my perspective, Mr. Strutin's philosophy to law was to allow the truth to prevail; whether through an eager law student, a newly acquired staff attorney, or seasoned lawyer, if not through self-litigation ( See, Bounds v. Casey ) His approach was motivational, article after after article; published through the New York Law Journal, his opinions matter most to me - while trying to crawl out of the depths of a hole constricted by 160+ months of further confinement - after digging through close to 80 months of pure self-deprecation. Gideon' provides the insight of what it takes to litigate, for others as well as for oneself, and Ken Strutin made sure non-lawyers knew it.

The landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court in Gideon v. Wainwright was made 61 years ago today.
