The State of Arizona contended that this was not a Fifth Amendment issue, but rather an effort to clarify the Arizona Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding a suspect’s right to counsel. Three months later, on 13 June 1966, Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote a decision reflecting the Court’s opinion that Miranda’s Fifth Amendment rights had been violated. This decision set forth the stipulation that any person being held in custody be clearly informed of his or her Miranda rights. Miranda was retried for the crime, but although his confession was not allowed as evidence in light of the newly defined Miranda rights, he was convicted based on other evidence and served 11 years. He was paroled in 1972, but continued to run afoul of the law. In 1976, Ernesto Miranda was killed in a bar fight. In 2000, the US Supreme Court revisited the issue of Miranda rights. While the earlier decision was upheld, Chief Justice Warren Rehnquist stated that police do not have to read the Miranda rights unless they intend to question the suspect about the crime for which he or she is being arrested.
