Content: The police tracked the license plate number of a car matching the one the victim described. This led the police to Ernesto Miranda, who had a prior record. Even though Miranda was not identified by the victim in a line-up, the police took him in for questioning. Unsurprisingly, the officers left the interrogation with a confession. Miranda had no legal representation nor did anyone tell him that he did not have to say anything. ( As an aside, never talk to any law enforcement, insurance companies, or any person about any legal matter without first speaking to a lawyer). Miranda later recanted his confession. The confession was brief and did not match the victim’s account of what happened. The court found Miranda guilty of the crime and put him in prison. In 1966, the Supreme Court made a decision in Miranda v. Arizona.
