Why was Ernesto Miranda's conviction by the Arizona State Supreme Court overturned by the United States Supreme Court?

Asked by Shon181

Answer (2)

He was not informed fo his right to consult with an attorney before and or during an interrogation, and he was not informed of his right not to self incriminate. Nor was he informed of his right to remain silent. Basically, the police didn't even read him his Miranda rights.

Ernesto Miranda's conviction was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1966 due to violations of his Fifth Amendment rights during interrogation. He was not informed of his rights to remain silent and to have an attorney present, leading to his confession being ruled involuntary. This landmark case resulted in the establishment of Miranda rights for all detained suspects.
