Miranda vs. Arizona
Overall view of the Miranda Rights
Ernesto Miranda Mug Shot (1966)
The Miranda Rights were formed in 1966 because in 1966, a man named Ernesto Miranda was not read his rights during his arrest. He had confessed to his crimes, but because the rights were not given, his confession could not be used as evidence in the case, and as a result, he had to be retried. We now call them Miranda Rights because his case started a new requirement that all
citizens must be read their rights at and arrest to make the trial honorable. Miranda Rights: You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney
If you cannot afford an attorney,one will be appointed to you
Do you understand the rights I have read to you? Do you choose to speak to me? Miranda Rights Origin
List of Miranda Rights
The Miranda rights were written by Chief Justice Earl Warren in 1966, to assure the safety and rights as to 'being a witness against yourself"
"Miranda Rights were created in 1966 as a result of the United States Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warning is intended to protect the suspect's Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer self-incriminating questions." http://www.mirandarights.org/
