No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
During the Miranda V. Arizona hearing, the Supreme Court considered many factors that may occur during the time a defendant is detained until the time they are officially convicted of a crime. The justices were aware of the power dynamics that usually occurs between a police officer and an offender. The justices noted that most officers are provided with a manual, instructing officers how to handle individuals whom refused to discuss anything, or asked to speak with an attorney or relative. Unlike, police officer members of society are not fortunate to have been gifted a manual on how to handle oneself during detainment and custody which usually involved interrogations and at time manipulative actions to obta...

Thus, stating that the privilege against self-incrimination is granted to all regardless of income. If however, a defendant make’s an express statement that they are is willing to make a statement and does not feel the need for council, then that statement could constitute a waiver only if evidence is presented to show, that an offer for counsel was made but the defendant understood but rejected the offer. Anything less is not waiver."

834 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...

You have the right to an attorney...this is what you hear on all your favorite cop shows. But, where did this saying come from? In 1963 Ernesto Miranda a ninth grade dropout (PBS) was arrested and charged with kidnaping, rape, and armed robbery. The police interrogated him for two hours. During the question Miranda supposedly admitted to all the crimes. The police then used Miranda’s confession to convict him in court. While in prison Miranda appealed his case and eventually brought it to the Supreme Court. The court ruled five to four in favor of Miranda. The Supreme Court was correct in their ruling of Miranda v. Arizona, because the majority opinion correctly argued the fifth and sixth amendments. The dissenting opinion arguments regarding the fifth and sixth amendments were incorrect and in other cases involving due process this amendment was abused. In similar cases the court ruled in favor of the defendant because he was harmed during the interrogation process.

Miranda was taken into custody as a suspect in the kidnapping and rape of an 18-year-old girl. During a two-hour interrogation, he was not informed of his constitutional rights against self-incrimination or the right to counsel. He ultimately admitted to his crimes in a signed, written confession. Prosecutors presented his confession as evidence in front of a jury at trial. Miranda was found guilty in the court of law and sentenced to 20-30 years on each count (Facts and Case Summary - Miranda v. Arizona, n.d.). The case was brought to the Supreme Court, under Chief Justice Earl Warren, and presented the question of if interrogating individuals without educating them of their constitutional right to counsel and as well as their right to not self-incrimination violates the Fifth Amendment. The Supreme Court decided five to four in favor of Miranda, and they held that prosecutors cannot use statements from interrogations unless they demonstrated procedural protections, which were later called “Miranda rights.”

The complexity of this concept can easily be traced back to its beginning in which it lacked an easily identifiable principle. Since its commencement in 1789 the United States Judicial system has had a hard time interpreting and translating this vague amendment. In many cases the courts have gone out of their way to protect the freedoms of the accused. The use of three major Supreme Court disputes will show the lengths these Justices have gone through, in order to preserve the rights and civil liberties of three criminals, who were accused of heinous crimes and in some cases were supposed to face up to a lifetime in federal prison.
