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.
However, this structure is really connecting the quadriceps muscle to the shin bone, and a tendon connects muscle to bone, and therefore patellar tendon is the more common description. The patellar tendon is an important part of the extensor mechanism of the lower extremity. The extensor mechanism includes the quadriceps muscle, quadriceps tendon, patella (kneecap), and patellar tendon. These structures function together to allow the knee to straighten, and can do so with significant force.
