Harriet Miller's next right after pleading guilty, based on the sixth amendment, is the right to a speedy trial. This means is not legal for her to wait in jail for her trial for a long period of time. This with the intention of maintain proof and evidence; the longer time passes, the easier for witnesses to disappear and evidence to get destroyed.

The next rights after a speedy trial for Harriet Miller are:

Right to a public trial. Right to an impartial jury. Right to be informed of pending charges. Right to confront witnesses. Right to legal counsel (An attorney).
