Summarize the facts of the case and the Supreme Court's ruling in Miranda v. Arizona.
What will be an ideal response?
Miranda was convicted of rape and kidnapping. Conviction was based on an interrogation and signed confession. The Court ruled suspects had the right to be clearly informed of their rights (to remain silent, for example). Since Miranda did not have a lawyer present when he was questioned and had not knowingly waived his right to a lawyer, the confession was excluded from evidence in the trial and his conviction was overturned.
