13 Jul 1966 Jahr - Miranda v Arizona

Beschreibung:

Ernesto Miranda was arrested in his house and brought to the police station where he wrote a confession to the crimes. The Officers admitted that they didn't inform Miranda of his right to a lawyer in court. The Arizona court found Miranda guilty saying that his right wasn't violated because he didn't request a lawyer.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Arizona courts ruling violated the 5th Amendment and they made it mandatory for police officers to warn the defendants that they have the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent. These are called "Miranda Rights".

Amendment in question: 5th
