Miranda v Arizona
Storyboard Text
- YOU'RE GUILTY!SAY YOU'RE GUILTY, OR ELSE!
- Ok, ok! I'm guilty, I'm guilty!
- This admission of guilt is undeniable evidence
- With this evidence, we can prove, without a doubt, that the defendant is...
- Did you even tell him that he had the right to counsel in the first place? Or that he had the right against self-incrimination?
- Hey, hold on a moment! Was the defendant even given counsel during the interrogation?
- No, because he didn't ask for it! What does this have to do with anything? He already admitted he was guilty!
- No..., but why should that matter?
- Because you're violating his 5th amendment rights! How is he supposed to know he has them if you don't tell him?
- Well.., I don't know.., but it's not against the law! Besides, It'll be harder to get people to confess if I have to tell them!
- I think I've heard enough. The defendant's confession is inadmissible, and as such, he is not guilty
- Furthermore, all police officers are required to inform those in custody of their 5th amendment rights, henceforth known as Miranda Rights, upon being taken into custody
