On March 13, 1963, police officers arrested Mr. Miranda and took him to the police station. Officers placed Mr. Miranda in a lineup, but the woman he had kidnapped and assaulted was not able to positively identify him as her attacker. Detectives then questioned Miranda for two hours. The detectives did not inform Miranda that he had the right to have an attorney present. Mr. Miranda eventually confessed to kidnapping and assaulting the woman, and his confession was used at his trial. The jury convicted him and the judge sentenced him to 20 to 30 years in prison.
