The correct answer is option D. The Sixth Amendment's guarantee of the right to an unbiased jury would be the part of the Bill of Rights that is the basis for that decision. This is because the person/people that would go to trial for the crime, would not be granted of an unbiased jury due to the crime being a high-profile one. If everyone in the community is talking about what happened, and everyone knows someone who has been affected by it, there is a high probability that the members of the jury are going to go to the trial with a bias against or in favor of the accused.
