IV. Justice Sutherland's Argument (1932)
Justice Sutherland argued that the defendants in the Scottsboro Boys trial were only youth and were illiterate and uneducated. The sole inquiry, according to Sutherland "is whether the Federal Constitution was contravened...to the inquiry whether the defendants were in substance denied the right of counsel, and if so, whether such denial infringes the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." (Justice Sutherland, Powell v. Alabama, 1932)
It is noted that no attempt was made to investigate the guilt or innocence of these defendants and no opportunity to do so was afforded to the defendants by the court. Sutherland states that it is important to consider that the case is one that is a "capital case, where the defendant is unable to employ counsel, and is incapable of adequately making is own defense because of ignorance, feeble mindedness, illiteracy or the like, it is the duty of the court, whether requested or not to assign counsel for him as a necessary requisite of due process of law; and that duty is not discharged by the assignment at such a time or under such circumstances as to preclude the giving of effective aid in the preparation and trial of the case. To hold otherwise would be to ignore the fundamental postulate already adverted to "that there are certain immutable principles of justice which inhere in the very idea of free government which no member of the Union may disregard." (Justice Sutherland, Powell v. Alabama, 1932)
Summary and Conclusion
The importance of the case of Powell v. Alabama is vested in the rights of the individual to counsel in capital cases as these cases are such that the decision of the jury will be passed...
Powell (2008) is discussing the utilization of mixed method research. What actuaries found is that the majority of actuaries used this kind of approach sparingly (with only 13.7% of the studies classified in these categories). This is providing a basic foundation for understanding the methods that are embraced by psychologists. (Powell, 2008, pp. 291 -- 311) How many are included in this study? Is this sample size appropriate for this

benefit analysis of the proposed state lottery for Alabama. Assessing the costs and benefits of this lottery is challenging. The costs are ill-defined, and often lumped in with other gambling costs in general. Yet, lotteries are not the same thing as casino gambling or sports gambling. So there is a lack of hard data available. The benefits are clearer. These take into account the return on money already being

interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
