Scottsboro Case, First (Powell v. Alabama) On 7 November 1932, the Supreme Court ruled (7–2) that the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause obliged state courts to uphold the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee that defendants in capital cases receive adequate legal counsel in preparing their defense. It overturned the conviction of several blacks charged with assaulting white women.
