Content: Miranda’s lawyers added a claim under the Fifth Amendment because Miranda had not been advised of his right to remain silent when he had been arrested and questioned, noting that an emotionally disturbed man like Miranda, who was not well educated, could not be expected to know his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Miranda, finding that a suspect who is in custody must be warned, before interrogation, of his right to remain silent, that anything he says will be used against him in court; that he has a right to consult with a lawyer during the interrogation, and that if he cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed.

As a result of the Miranda decision, police officers around the country give some version of the Miranda warnings to all suspects who are taken into custody. These warnings include elements of the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, the Sixth Amendment’s right to a lawyer, and the 14th Amendment’s application of the ruling to all 50 states. Each state has its own version of the Miranda warning, which is only issued when a suspect is actually taken into custody. Importantly, this means that anything said to a police officer before a suspect is taken into custody and read the Miranda rights can be used in a court of law. This includes interviews freely given to the police in which a suspect is free to leave the police station, as well as conversations with police officers at the scene of a crime.
