Miranda vs. Arizona
Storyboard Tekst
- In 1966, Ernesto Miranda was convicted in Arizona for kidnapping and rape.
- You're under arrest!
- This was based off of a confession after 2 hours of police interrogation.
- I know you did it! Tell us now or else!
- Fine! I did it! Just please stop; you're so intimidating!
- Miranda was not informed of his right to the 5th amendment, and because of the intense interrogation, Miranda's statement could not be considered as given of his own free will.
- You didn't even read him his rights! How was he supposed to know that he could plead the 5th? This case is overruled.
- The debate in this court case was that defendant's interrogation violated the Fifth Amendment.
- Miranda was NOT told that he had the right to remain silent. So when he was interrogated, he felt he had no other choice than to talk.
- The Court held that a defendant cannot be questioned by police in the until the defendant is made aware of his rights. The judge, Chief Justice Earl Warren, made a 5 - 4 decision for Miranda, and to protect the privilege, the Court reasoned that procedural safeguards were required.
