Police Must Inform Suspects of Fifth Amendment Rights (Supreme Court of the United States, 1 First Street NE, Washington, D.C., 20543, USA) 1966
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court made it crystal clear that the police must be upfront with crime suspects about their right to remain silent and seek legal counsel. Ernesto Miranda, whose confession led to his conviction, took his case all the way to the highest court, arguing that his rights had been violated. The Court ruled 5-4 in his favor, setting a new standard for police interrogations: henceforth, suspects must be "Mirandized" - informed of their Fifth Amendment rights before questioning. This milestone ruling has since protected countless individuals from potential coercion and ensured that the justice system upholds its commitment to fairness.
