Ernesto Arturo Miranda -- born in (or near) Mesa, Arizona, on March 9, 1941; died in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 31, 1976; buried in Mesa City Cemetery, Mesa, Arizona -- was a perverted career criminal, one of whose cases caused the Supreme Court of the United States to establish a major due-process right for defendants in criminal cases: the right not to incriminate themselves by answering police officers' questions after they are arrested.
