Her friends who were with her are afraid that they will be accused as well, so they refuse to appear in court as witnesses.How can the woman’s counsel use the Sixth Amendment’s witness clause to support her case? Give your response in at least two complete sentences.

Answer

Answer:

The woman’s counsel can use the Sixth Amendment’s witness clause to obtain a subpoena that legally requires her friends to testify in court. This clause ensures that an accused person has the right to compel witnesses to appear and provide testimony that could prove their innocence.
