The 6th amendment states that someone accused of a crime must go to trial in the state and area where the crime took place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th Amendment guarantees criminal suspects the right to a fair and public trial by an independent investigator comprised of state and district judges, where actual crime took place and in which the crime was allegedly committed. It allows criminal suspects to be informed of the intent and purpose of the charges brought toward them. The Confrontation Clause of the amendment allows accused suspects the right to challenge and cross-examine witnesses, while the Provision of the mandatory procedure grants offenders the right to call their own witnesses and, in certain instances, force witnesses to testify.
