Content: After the lineup, when Miranda asked how he did, the police implied that he was positively identified, at which point he was placed under arrest, and taken to an interrogation room. After two hours of interrogation, some of which regarding another offense Miranda was separately tried and convicted for, Miranda hand-wrote a confession for the kidnapping and rape of Jameson. At the top of each sheet was the printed certification that "…this statement has been made voluntarily and of my own free will, with no threats, coercion or promises of immunity and with full knowledge of my legal rights, understanding any statement I make can and will be used against me." After unburdening himself to the officers, Miranda was taken to meet the beating victim for positive voice identification. Asked by officers, in her presence, whether this was the victim, he said, "That's the girl." The victim stated that the sound of Miranda's voice matched that of the culprit. Despite the printed statement on top of the sheets that Miranda used to write his confession on, "with full knowledge of my legal rights," he was not informed of his right to have an attorney present or of his right to remain silent when he was arrested, or before his interrogation. 73-year-old Alvin Moore was assigned to represent him at his trial. The trial took place in mid-June 1963 before Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Yale McFate. Moore objected to entering the confession by Miranda as evidence during the trial but was overruled.
