Whose case established the concept of the Miranda Warning?
On March 13, 1963, police arrested Ernesto Miranda for stealing
money from a Phoenix, Arizona bank worker. During two hours of
questioning, Miranda confessed to the crime, but was never offered
an attorney during his interrogation and eventually received a
prison sentence based primarily on his confession. On June 13,
1966, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Arizona Court's decision
and granted Ernesto Miranda a new trial at which his confession
could not be admitted as evidence. The ruling established the
"Miranda" rights of persons accused of crimes.
