Miranda Vs. Arizona

Ernesto Miranda-vs.-Arizona: The Miranda Rights Warnings
In 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona for armed robbery, kidnapping, and raping a slightly retarded eighteen-year-old woman. While he was in police custody he signed a written confession to the crime. After the conviction, his lawyers appealed on the grounds that Miranda did not know he was protected from self-incrimination (Gribben, 2001).
Does the police practice of interrogating individuals without notifying them of their right to counsel and their protection against self-incrimination violate the Fifth Amendment? The Fifth Amendment states, “No person shall he 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 offense 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 life, liberty, and property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation (Murphy, 2002).

Patty MeGee was a typical rape victim, traumatized by the assault, and several times she had to take brakes to recompose herself. When Officer Cooley took the stand and the prosecution attempted to have Miranda’s confession entered as evidence, Moore objected. He felt Miranda’s confession was in violation of the Fifth Amendment, and that it was inadmissible (Gribben, 2001). Moore objected to the introduction of the confession because he believed the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that a suspect is entitled to an attorney at the time of arrest. He was referring to the high court’s decision in Gideon-VS-Wainwright, where the court had not said a defendant is allowed counseling during trial. The judge overturned the objection and allowed Miranda’s confession to be heard by the jury (Lee, Walker, 2001).

Moore believed that McFate had made an error when he allowed the confession to be entered. Alvin Moore immediately appealed the case to the Arizona Supreme Court.

It took the Arizona Supreme Court eighteen months to get around to Miranda’s case, but found that the U.S. Supreme Court’s unpopular decision on the Escobedo case which freed a confessed murderer did not apply to Miranda. The Arizona court upheld his rape and kidnapping convictions (Mauro, 2000).
