None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Escobedo v. Illinois established that criminal suspects have a right to counsel not just at trial but during police interrogations. The ACLU of Illinois argued the case before the Supreme Court, citing the police’s own textbooks on how to conduct aggressive interrogations.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Gideon, guaranteeing the right to legal counsel for criminal defendants in federal and state courts. Following the decision, Gideon was given another trial with an appointed lawyer and was acquitted of the charges.
Detailed explanation-3: -Escobedo made statements that were later used against him, resulting in him being found guilty. Though the conviction was upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction in part because the police violated Escobedo’s rights under the Sixth Amendment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Jackson, 475 U.S. 625 (1986), the Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment bars the police from initiating any interrogation of a defendant who has been formally charged and who has requested the right to counsel.
