Ernesto Miranda you are under arrest for rape, robbery and kidnapping.
Haha! Since you don't have an lawyer I can interrogate you forever
2 hours of interrogation, with no knowledge of his lawyer or his rights later.....
OK, I confess I am guilty.
1966 in Phoenix, Arizona, the police rush to Ernesto Miranda's house to arrest him.
District of Arizona Court
Okay, people why do you think the law should change or not?
Ernesto Miranda, was a 24-year-old high school drop-out with a police record when he was accused in 1963 of kidnapping, raping and robbing an 18-year-old woman.
The Supreme Court
But he confessed!
You violated my rights!
"He didn't even tell me my rights to remain silent or my right to get a lawyer!" This case is going to the district court.
The Supreme Court voted and the votes added up to 5-4 Miranda winning the case
Miranda: the police violated by my 5th amendment right to remain silent, and the 6th amendment right to a legal counsel.
This case will have to go to the Supreme Court.
Chief justice: Officer, you didn't give him his 5th Amendment right, and informed him that he had the right to remain silent during the interrogation.
Chief Justice:The Supreme court rules that the detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to a lawyer and against self incrimination.
