Under the Sixth Amendment, he or she does not have the right to an attorney before that. It took several years before the Supreme Court ruled that every defendant has the right to an attorney, thereby obligating lower courts to provide attorneys to indigent defendants.
Jumper's Knee. Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee is an inflammation of the patellar tendon that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. This tendon helps in extension of the lower leg.
Patellar tendon ruptures are less common than are quadriceps ruptures and tend to occur in patients younger than 40 years. In rare cases, partial ruptures of the quadriceps tendon are seen in young athletes with end-stage jumper's knee. Jumper's knee usually involves the patellar tendon, though in 25% of cases, the quadriceps is involved. Complete quadriceps tendon rupture is a disabling injury, and operative repair is required.
