Miranda v. Arizona is a case that revolutionized the rights of an accused while in custody and interrogation. The Supreme court leaders based the rights of Mr. Miranda by the fifth amendment of the United States Constitution. The fifth amendment has been interpreted though the decision of supreme court rulings into the right to remain silent in an interrogation in order to prevent the accused to testify against himself. This amendment also protects any person from double jeopardy from the same crime, gives him or her a grand jury, and it requires for due process of law to come in effect in case a citizen is denied him or her from their right of life, liberty, or property. Ernesto Miranda was taken to the police station on March 13, 1963. …show more content…
Two police officers began interrogating him, and after two hours later the police officers came out with a written confession signed by Mr. Miranda. On the top of the confession was a paragraph that stated, “that the confession was made voluntarily, without threats or promises of immunity and "with full knowledge of my legal rights, understanding any statement I make may be used against me." Once at the trial the officers presented this evidence to the judge. With this explicit evidence the judge found Miranda guilty of kidnapping and raping. He was sentenced to jail from 20 to 30 years on each account. The Supreme Court of Arizona ruled that his constitutional rights were not violated, and also emphasized that Miranda never requested a counsel during his interrogation. The Supreme Court of the United States in a 5-4 ruling decided in favor of Miranda. The Supreme Court felt that since an interrogation is a very intimidating spot to be on the suspect 's rights are automatically triggered. This includes the fifth amendment and the the sixth amendment which entitles a person to an attorney. They claimed that undoubtedly the fifth amendment is a privilege. Along with this case they also settled four other cases that were similarly close …show more content…
Arizona is a case that many people believed that it should have been ruled the other way. Me, on the other hand, I believe that even though a person is being criminalized it does not mean that law officials should take advantage of them. The way that this court was ruled has been working exceptionally well for over the past fifty years, so I believe it proves that the reinterpretation of the law was the best option. A person can potentially at one point be accused of something that they did not do, and under pressure in an interrogation he or she could be manipulated into confessing something they did not do. Sometimes a person can feel like their is no other way, but the solution they chose at the end, or they can be scared that it can end up a lot worse if they do not confess at the given time. If I was a justice I would probably be closer to Justice Clark because he agreed with both sides of the argument. I, on the contrary, would have been leaning towards the concurrence side instead of the dissent. I agree that future criminals could use the reinterpretation of the fifth amendment to their own benefit, but I also see it that the law officials use their position in society to their advantage as well. It would only be fair to the average American that can at one moment be in this predicament to be told their rights before they can incriminate themselves, and for them to be allowed settle the case the right and fair way, with a lawyer by their

1255 wordsRead More - The Miranda's Rights: The Curpose Of The Miranda Rightsexplanatory essayThe Miranda Rights were originally established in 1966 after the Miranda vs Arizona case, to protect the rights of those who have arrested and taken into custody. The rights come from the 5th amendment in the U.S Constitution giving the arrestee the right to have an attorney present, and the right to not be self-incriminated. When a police makes an arrest, they must inform the suspect of their 5th amendment rights. Which are “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by the state”. Then the officer must ask the suspect “Now do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?” Some police departments in Indiana, New Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Alaska will add “We have no way of giving you a lawyer, but one will be appointed for you, if you wish, if and when you go to court”. However, the Miranda Rights do not have to be read to a suspect when he/she is arrested. Sometimes they are not even read at all. The rights only have to be read to a suspect if he/she is planned on being interrogated by an officer or detective. If the officer does decide to interrogate the suspect, the Miranda Rights must be read to the suspect before the interrogation begins. The main purpose of this rule is so the case has a less chance of being overturned in court. Prior to the institution of the Miranda Warning, confessions need only be voluntary on the part of the suspect. This created a difficult situation for police, who were then often faced with evidence at trial that the person was not of sound mind or were under circumstantial duress when they gave their confession. It is very imp...

Arizona's Case Analysisanalytical essayHe stated that Miranda’s Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to due process was violated when his involuntary confession was submitted to the court, as well as his right to counsel. The prosecution failed a brief stating that Miranda had a fair trial because the constitution did not state that a defendant needs an attorney during questioning, and that Miranda never asked for counsel. The decision was upheld. The court decided that the police did everything appropriately, and Miranda’s rights were never violated when he was interrogated without an attorney present. After Miranda’s first appeal was upheld his attorney stopped representing him. Miranda then decided to write a writ of certiorari. While he was doing this the American Civil Liberties Union heard about his case, and support Miranda through this process. He was also able to get to gain two attorneys to help him, John P. Frank and John P. Flynn. On behalf of Miranda they filed the writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court.

During a two-hour interrogation, he was not informed of his constitutional rights against self-incrimination or the right to counsel.

However, it is believed by many, me included, that a small amount of good came out in that case. Like stated previously, Miranda rights help protect that rights of Americans, given to us by the Constitution. These are rights that every American was born with, or received by becoming an American citizen. Not making someone aware of these rights is unfair to every American citizen’s rights. Many people argue that the Miranda rights keep criminals safe. This might be true, but it is also true that not every person convicted of a crime in innocent. A lot of the times Americans get falsely accused only to be found innocent later, or they were arrest because they were a suspect. I believe that Miranda rights are more of a necessary safety net, to ensure everyone is away of their rights.
