As American citizens, we are afforded numerous rights in court. Before a suspect is arrested, the police officer recites the familiar phrase: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.” Anyone who has watched a detective show has memorized or at least heard these lines with little knowledge of their origin. Although these lines, also known as Miranda Rights, were created early, they were put into effect in 1966 during the famous Miranda v. Arizona case. This controversial case was said to have a false confession because Miranda was not informed of her rights. The decision of this case continues to play an important role in the new justice system. On March 3, 1963, an 18-year-old girl in Phoenix, Arizona was kidnapped and raped while walking home from work. The woman was then accompanied near her home. This woman went to the police describing a Mexican man in his thirties, wearing glasses and a T-shirt, driving an old Ford or Chevrolet. The witness and her brother-in-law exactly identified the 1963 Ford Packard they believed was the car. The car was registered to Twila N. Hoffman and Ernesto Miranda. According to the article titled “MIRANDA VS ARIZONA: THE CRIME THAT CHANGED AMERICAN JUSTICE,” it states “Almost immediately after arriving at headquarters, Cooley and Young lined up Ernest Miranda with three other Mexican-Americans from the city ​​jail that roughly corresponded to his physical appearance. Miranda was the only man wearing a shirt that allowed viewers to see his tattooed arms. This training was already biased, as it allowed eyewitnesses...... middle of paper... case, Nunez was not charged with murder because he was not adequately advised of his Miranda rights. It is now part of a police officer's procedure to read a suspect his rights to prevent cases from being dropped. Bottom line, as American citizens, we are afforded numerous rights in court. According to the Miranda laws, a person has the “Right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided to you.” A person must be fully aware of their rights in order to have a fair case in court. These rights derive from the famous case Miranda v. Arizona. In this case the perpetrator, Ernesto Miranda, was not informed of his rights, so his confession was inadmissible. This is amply demonstrated through various cases in the new justice system.
