Miranda vs. Arizona

נסה את זה בחינם!

In 1966, Ernesto Miranda was convicted in Arizona for kidnapping and rape.
You're under arrest!
This was based off of a confession after 2 hours of police interrogation.
I know you did it! Tell us now or else!
Fine! I did it! Just please stop; you're so intimidating!
Miranda was not informed of his right to the 5th amendment, and because of the intense interrogation, Miranda's statement could not be considered as given of his own free will.
You didn't even read him his rights! How was he supposed to know that he could plead the 5th? This case is overruled.
The debate in this court case was that defendant's interrogation violated the Fifth Amendment.
Miranda was NOT told that he had the right to remain silent. So when he was interrogated, he felt he had no other choice than to talk.
The Court held that a defendant cannot be questioned by police in the until the defendant is made aware of his rights. The judge, Chief Justice Earl Warren, made a 5 - 4 decision for Miranda, and to protect the privilege, the Court reasoned that procedural safeguards were required.
