Miranda Rights Case

First, Miranda v. Arizona all started on March 2, 1963, when an 18-year-old Phoenix woman told police that she had been kidnapped, taken to a part of desert land in Arizona, and was raped. She was given a polygraph test, but the results were inadequate. While tracking the license plate number, they came upon a vehicle, similar to that of the women’s attacker, linking them to a man named Ernesto Miranda, who was booked for being a peeping tom. When they put a police line-up for the women to pick out Ernesto, she couldn’t identify, but he was still questioned by police. Police began to interrogate Mr. Miranda and never read him his rights, before interrogation. The interrogation lasted two- hours, in which Miranda supposedly admitted to committing the crimes, and the police had an audio recording of the entire interview. Ernesto had never finished ninth grade and had a history of mental uncertainty.

The Miranda rights were named after a criminal named Ernesto Miranda. Ernesto Miranda was a poor Mexican immigrant who resided in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1963 Miranda was arrested after a crime victim identified him in a police line-up. Miranda was charged with the raping of an eighteen year old female, kidnapping and armed robbery, he was interrogated for two hours while in police custody; during this time he signed a written confession of committing the crimes he was accused for. His confession was later used against him in court. After the conviction, Miranda’s lawyers appealed arguing that Ernesto Miranda did not know that he was protected from self-discrimination (when you imply you’re guilty even if you’re not.) The police officers who interrogated him for almost 3 hours did not read him his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or sixth amendment which guarantees any criminal the right to an attorney. Miranda v. Arizona went all the way up to Supreme Court. There the Supreme Court ruled that police officers have the responsibility to inform the subject of their constitutional

In 1966 , Ernesto Miranda was arrested and charged with rape, kidnapping , and robbery. The problem was that Miranda was not informed of his rights before the police interrogation and while the two hour interrogation, Miranda confessed to committing the crimes which police recorded without Mirandas Knowledge. McBride, Alex. "Miranda v. Arizona (1966)." PBS. PBS, Dec. 2006. Web. 24 Oct. 2014.. Miranda who did not even finish the 9th grade and also is known to have a history of being mentally unstable, who did not have any counsel by his side during the interrogation. In court at his trial the prosecution’s case was focused mainly of his confession and thats about it, no matter what in

In March of 1963, the Phoenix Police Department brought in an accused to their departments to investigate him. Upon arriving to the police department two detectives interrogated him about the rape of a mildly, handicap young woman and a kidnap. After two hours of interrogating the suspect, Ernesto Miranda, confessed to the crime just after the detectives told him the victim had identified him in a lineup. Ernesto Miranda was found guilty of both crimes and was sentenced to twenty to thirty years in prison. In 1966, three years later, Miranda’s sentence was overturned by the Supreme Court due to the fact that Miranda was not notified about his fifth or sixth amendment. His fifth amendment gave him the right to avoid self-incrimination by

Nevertheless, criminal behavior has become a serious threat to many American communities where violence, theft, and illegal drug use are rampant and most americans want to enforce the officials and to be taught on criminal. The united states especially the bill of rights protect individuals from wrong or unjust accusations and punishment by law enforcement officials. My counter claim is that some people say that there should be miranda rights because a person that gets arrested they should have their rights and if you don't give them their rights then they can get release without charges. In my opinion i think their should be miranda rights because i think that a person that gets arrested should go to jail because they broke the law and they should be punish. The background about miranda v. arizona is a man name ernesto went to jail for rape kidnapping and murder and what happen is that ernesto did not know his right and the officer in arizona did not tell him the right ,so what happen is that the man ernesto got released from jail and all the charges drop and he did not had to go to jail and that is why it is important for an officer to say the miranda rights.as you can see my watershed moment is an important to my career because i have to say the right that people have and also it is important for an offer to say, what are you going to jail for and why are you going to

The Miranda vs. Arizona all started when Ernesto Miranda was accused for kidnapping and raping a woman. The Miranda right came to be when law enforcement failed to read Ernesto his right. This case was so big that the whole state of Arizona was involved. I believe that Miranda vs. Arizona does ensure justice and preserve liberty.

Ernesto Miranda was arrested in 1966 charged with rape and kidnapping. In the process of being arrested Miranda was not informed of his rights leading into interrogation. In interrogation Miranda supposedly confessed to committing a crime that the police had recorded. As the time came to prosecute Miranda the only evidence they could go off on was his confession. After Miranda was then convicted of rape and kidnapping that sentenced him to 20-30 years in prison. He then petition to Arizona court saying, “Police had unconstitutionally obtained my confession.” (McBride. (2006). Expanding…Rights.) But Arizona court disagreed and kept on with conviction. So then Miranda had appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1966 that lead to voting and the outcome was 5 to 4. Then Warren the Chief Justice had ruled that Miranda’s confession isn’t enough evidence to use in

In 1966 the Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement must inform detained criminal suspects of their constitutional rights prior to police interrogation. This decision was the result of the Miranda v. Arizona case. The case began in 1963 when a man by the name of Ernesto Miranda was arrested and charged with robbery, rape, and kidnapping. Miranda was not informed of his constitutional rights prior to his interrogation. In addition, during his questioning Miranda had no counsel present despite the fact that he had a history of mental instability. Within the two hours he was questioned, Miranda allegedly confessed to the charges. His confession then went on to serve as the only evidence presented at the trial. Miranda was

In 1963 a resident of Arizona was arrested for robbery, kidnapping and raping a young women. Ernesto Miranda was arrested and later interrogated by the police. At the time of his arraignment he was given a legal document and was asked to write a formal confession, Miranda declined. He was interrogated for

It is not that I believe what Miranda did was a good thing but, it is only fair that Miranda gets a fair case and gets read his rights. There are people out there in this world that do not know about all the police rules and rules of the government so if they are not told their rights, they aren't getting a fair arrest and trial later on when what they said is being used against them. Hopefully this case happening has helped many others in the years following with their cases and also helped police officers to do things the correct way and get the criminals locked up

The 1966 Miranda v. Arizona Supreme Court case resulted in the Miranda process as it is known today. Whenever suspects are taken into custody or interrogated they must be informed of their right to a

The court ruled in favor of Miranda because of the 5th Amendment which protects the accused from self-incrimination and guarantees due process of law. The interrogator tricked Miranda into self-incriminating himself for the crimes he is accused of. This violates the 5th Amendment right of no self-incrimination. Miranda was pressurized into writing a confession to the crime he is accused of. Therefore, the 5th Amendment due process was also violated.

In many cases criminals have gotten released for improper handling of Miranda rights, and in the reverse many have served time for crimes not committed with mishandling of a person’s rights and evidence at crime scenes.

Miranda vs Arizona has been ensuring our justice for many years. It all started with a man named Ernesto Miranda who was arrested on March 13, 1963 on charges of kidnapping and rape. Miranda was interrogated for about two hours and signed a paper confessing the crime he had commit. However, Ernesto was not given the information of his 5th amendment right. It states, “You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?”. These words were not given to him and therefore Miranda’s charges were overruled in court due to violation of his rights. This then begs the question; do the Miranda rights ensure justice and preserve liberty?

On March 13 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested on charges of rape and kidnapping of an 18 year old girl. He was interrogated but was never aware that the details of his interrogation would later be used against him in his court trial. Miranda stated that he was never spoken to concerning his right to silence and council as well as the confession being used against him in his trial. He would end up being sentenced to prison, however in June 1965, his attorneys would send the case to the Supreme Court arguing that Miranda had been violated of his right as stated in the 5th and 6th amendments. The case would lead to chief justice Earl Warren to write the first draft of the Miranda rights.
