    5. THE CASE OF MIRANDA vs. ARIZONA In 1963 Ernesto Miranda was arrested for armed robbery in Phoenix, Arizona He confessed to kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old, slightly retarded woman His lawyers appealed the conviction on the grounds of not being told his rights He was freed after the first trial presented to the Supreme Court, but was put in jail after a second trial for 11 years on other evidence

    6. QUESTIONS THE COURT HAD TO DECIDE They had to decide if the individual being arrested should be freed if his rights weren’t presented to him Supreme Court also had to decide if they should arrest someone because he confessed before knowing his rights

    7. SUPREME COURT RULING Any individual being arrested should be told his rights Examples: ”you have the right to remain silent” etc. The vote was won by the majority of five to four

    8. IMPACT ON OUR COUNTRY Now people know that they don’t have to confess to anything without being told their rights People also have a better chance of being found innocent if they know they don’t have to talk
