In Miranda v Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the confession obtained from Ernesto Miranda without informing him of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and his Sixth Amendment right to an attorney should have been excluded from his trial for rape and kidnapping. Miranda had confessed to the crimes during a police interrogation where he was not made aware of his constitutional rights, leading the Court to conclude defendants in custody must be informed of these rights before interrogation.
