Answer
A
Citizens are able to represent themselves easily.
B
Even experienced citizens need legal support.
C
The legal process is complicated.
D
It is not difficult to establish innocence.
E
Citizens are more likely to be convicted without counsel.

Explanation

Justice Black’s argument emphasizes that criminal proceedings are complicated and that people need a lawyer’s help, even if they have experience. Without counsel, citizens are more likely to be convicted because they may not know how to defend themselves effectively. So statements B, C, and E match his argument; A and D suggest that legal help is unnecessary or innocence is easy to establish.
