Your Rights Against Self-Incrimination and Right to a Lawyer in California Criminal Cases

Content: In the Supreme Court case, the Court found that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is intended to protect persons from being compelled to incriminate themselves. The prosecution cannot use statements stemming from a custodial interrogation unless there are procedural safeguards in place. Therefore, a defendant must be warned before questioning that he or she has: The right to remain silent; Anything the defendant says can be used against them in court; The right to the presence of an attorney; and
If the defendant cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed prior to questioning. The police didn't read me my Miranda rights when I was arrested. Will my case be dismissed? An arrest does not necessarily mean the police have to give someone Miranda warnings.
