A.

Explanation:

The Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees criminal defendants the right to a speedy trial by an impartial and public jury. The sixth amendment also requires that the criminal defendants are noticed of all the acusations agains them and their nature and cause.

In Willie Barker's case, it becomes clear that this right was not granted by the court. Having continuances that slow down his trial caused by the health situation of the police investigator multiple times show that the case was not judged as it should have been.
