June 3, 1961 - USA
Clarence Gideon is arrested and charged with breaking into a poolroom in Florida. His case managed to change one the chief principles of American criminal justice. In Gideon v.

Due to Clarence Gideon's perseverance, every criminal suspect is entitled to representation by a lawyer.
