Miranda v Arizona (1966)




    By Lucy Marchese
Brief summery
   Miranda was charged with rape and
    kidnapping and was interrogated by
    the police. The police officers
    questioning him did not notify him of
    his Fifth Amendment right against
    self-incrimination, or of his Sixth
    Amendment right to the assistance of
    an attorney. This lead to Miranda
    confessing to the crimes with which
    he was charged.
Arguments
     For Miranda: His attorney argued that his
    confession should have been excluded from trial
    because he had not been informed of his rights.
    Also an attorney was not present during his
    interrogation. The police officers involved
    admitted that they had not given Miranda any
    explanation of his rights. His confession was
    illegally obtained and should be thrown out.

   For Arizona: Ernesto Miranda was convicted of a
    crime before so he must have known his rights
    already. Also he signed the confession freely. The
    prosecution was proper, and his conviction was
    based on Arizona law.
Supreme Court decision
   In a 5-4 opinion, the Supreme Court ruled
    in favor of Miranda. The majority opinion,
    concluded that defendants arrested under
    state law must be informed of their
    constitutional rights against self-
    incrimination and to representation by an
    attorney before being interrogated when
    in police custody. These rights are in the
    5th and 6th amendments.
