A lady reported to the police that she had been abducted and raped. Investigations led to Ernesto Miranda. Even though the lady did not recognize Miranda, he was interrogated. Miranda was punished after apparently letting out a confession, which he letter recanted, because he was not aware of his right to remain silent.
