The Analysis Case II explores the real-life courtroom story of Clarence Earl Gideon, a man who changed American law with nothing more than a pencil and determination. In this solo episode, Vegeta takes you through how Gideon’s case, Gideon v. Wainwright, redefined the right to legal counsel and became a cornerstone of the U.S. justice system. This is not just a legal episode—it’s a dramatic, historic moment that proves how one individual can force an entire system to reconsider its foundation.
