How might the case of Gideon v. Wainwright affect the work of a prosecutor?

Gideon v. Wainwright established that people accused of serious crimes who cannot afford an attorney must be provided one. The Sixth Amendment also protects rights such as a speedy trial, an impartial jury, and notice of the charges. Prosecutors must respect and help preserve these rights during the case, so D is correct; they cannot block defense witnesses or ignore constitutional protections.
