A resident of Phoenix, Ernesto Miranda was charged with rape, kidnapping and robbery. Before he was arrested he was not read his rights and after a two-hour interrogation he admitted to his crimes. Miranda had a history of mental instability and did not finish ninth grade did not have a lawyer present. His case was manly supported on his recorded confession. He was found guilty and was sentenced to twenty to thirty years in prison. When he appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court for unconstitutionally being convicted, he was denied. Then he took it up with the U.S. Supreme Court and they ruled that the court could not use his confession as evidence due to the police not reading him his rights. This case is important because by reading rights
After refusing to sign the paper, and being interrogated, he finally confessed. Miranda's lawyers claimed that Miranda was not informed on any of his rights. Rights he should have been aware of included his right to keep quiet and his right to an attorney. He was charged with rape and kidnapping, but wanted to go to a higher court. This is when he went to the Supreme Court. An investigation would take place to see if the arresting officer followed the right rules. The one who led court was Chief Justice Warren. In court, there was a 5-4 decision. Ernesto would no longer be convicted of his crime because his rights were not made aware to him. The judge stated that a person's rights must be said to them when they are arrested. Miranda should have been told of his fifth and sixth amendment rights. His confession was no longer valid, and he would get a new trial. Different evidence though, did confirm that he was the one responsible for the crime. He was sentenced to eleven years in prison. Even though he'd need to spend time in jail, his case changed both the world, and the procedures of police

The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren and was joined by Justices Black, Douglas, Brennan, and Fortas. The dissenting opinion was written Justice Harlan and was joined by Justices Stewart and White. Harlan said it was “poor constitutional law” which would result in “harmful consequences for the country at large.” White asserted it would have “a corrosive effect on the criminal law as an effective device to prevent crime.” Justice Clark wrote a dissenting part opinion.

Everyone has heard the term Miranda Rights, whether that be when taking a law class, during the course of a television show, or perhaps through personal experience with their use, but what do these two words really mean, where did they come from and how to they apply to an individual's everyday life? The answers to this question are neither simple nor fully answered today, as challenges to Miranda Rights appear in courtrooms routinely.
