Wainwright, 372 US 335 (1963)Clarence Earl Gideon served two years of a five year sentence for the original 1961 conviction of "breaking and entering with intent to commit petty larceny," a felony in the state of Florida. Gideon entered prison in August 1961 and was released in August 1963 after the US Supreme Court remanded the case for rehearing. The second jury deliberated only an hour before acquitting Gideon in his second trial.Gideon was a petty criminal who had spent most of the previous three decades in and out of Texas and Missouri state prisons on charges of burglary, stealing, larceny, petty theft and escape. He had also been incarcerated in federal prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for stealing unspecified government property.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Yes, in criminal cases, the government is represented by the prosecutor. When a defendant is being charged with a crime, they are being accused of violating a rule that the government has issued, thus a "criminal trial" is essentially the government "suing" a defendant. On paper, when citing a case, the plaintiff (or prosecution) is always listed first, so you can infer that Arizona v. Johnson is a criminal trial because the state is listed first. The state of Arizona is seeking retribution from the a defendant: Johnson. However, cases like Miranda v. Arizona, a person, Miranda, is listed first. Because Miranda is listed first, you can infer that Miranda is seeking retribution from the state of Arizona. Any case where a person is listed before a state (or two people are listed, without a state) is a civil case.In the case of Miranda v. Arizona, Miranda sued the state of Arizona because he did not understand his rights (which consequently became the Miranda Rights). In a case like Gideon v. Wainwright, you can also infer that this is a civil case because a person is, again, listed first (and a state is not listed at all). So, Gideon sued Wainwright.

In Gideon v. Wainwright, the Supreme Court ruled that if a defendant cannot afford a lawyer, one must be provided to him or her regardless of the defendant's ability to pay or the importance of the charges.
