Content: So we are taking this opportunity to dive into the history, key details, and events you need to help you understand your Miranda rights in Texas. Where Did Miranda Rights Come From? Miranda rights are named after the 1966 Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. In this case, Ernesto Miranda was arrested for stealing eight dollars from an Arizona bank worker. After two hours of questioning, Miranda confessed to the robbery, kidnapping, and rape of the worker. He was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Since he was not advised of his Constitutional rights, the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that the statements and confessions Miranda made could not be used as evidence against him. The judges decided he did not get a fair trial, and his conviction was reversed. Miranda v. Arizona instituted further protection of the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, establishing that suspects should be informed of their legal rights when placed under arrest. The “Miranda rights” were finalized in 1968 in the state of California and variations have been in use nationwide since then.
