Miranda v. Arizona is a landmark case where Ernesto Miranda was arrested for rape and kidnapping and was refused an attorney even after he requested one during custodial interrogation, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Miranda's confession could not be used because Miranda was unaware of his Fifth Amendment right to refrain from making self incrimination and Sixth Amendment right to have legal counsel, nor were his rights made known to him by investigators, even after Miranda requested legal counsel (Bethel, 2015). According to Criminal Law and Procedure, Miranda protects the suspect more than anyone else in the equation as it allows the suspect to be aware of their right to remain silent and that legal counsel is available to them if they

Supreme Court decided the historic case of Miranda v. Arizona, stating that when a person is taken into police custody, before being interrogated he or she must be told of the Fifth Amendment right not to make any self-incriminating statement (Criminal.findlaw.com, 2017).

Within the court case of Miranda v. Arizona, Miranda was a poor immigrant from Mexico, who lived in Phoenix, Arizona in 1963 (Schmalleger, 2011). Miranda was accused of kidnapping and rape and was arrested after the victim of the crime recognized him in a police lineup (Schmalleger, 2011). Miranda was questioned by police while in police custody for two hours. The rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments were not told to Miranda by the officers interrogating him, which are the rights against self-incrimination and right to assistance of an attorney (Harr, Hess & Orthmann, 2012). Considering Miranda was not aware of his rights, he ended up confessing to the crimes, which he was charged (Harr, Hess & Orthmann, 2012).

The 5th amendment states,” No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury” (Constitution: VI Amendment).

It was reviewed and overturned by The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court over turned three of the four cases, all except California v. Stewart, by a vote of 5-4. According to www.uscourts.gov, The Court held that “there can be no doubt that the Fifth Amendment privilege is available outside of criminal court proceedings and serves to protect persons in all settings in which their freedom of action is curtailed in any significant way from being compelled to incriminate themselves.” With these rulings we got what we know today as Miranda rights. The Miranda rights state a defendant “must be warned prior to any questioning that he has the right to remain silent, that anything he says can be used against him in a court of law, that he has the right to the presence of an attorney, and that if he cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for him prior to any questioning if he so desires”, according to www.uscourts.gov.
