Read Chief Justice Warren’s decision from the Miranda case.
The entire thrust of police interrogation . . . was to put the defendant in such an emotional state as to impair his capacity for rational judgment. . . . [T]he choice on his part to speak to the police—was not made knowingly.
What did Chief Justice Warren say about how Miranda’s confession was made?

Respuesta :

The police tried (and, i think, succeeded) in making Miranda confess by using emotions to make them crack. sorry if this is unclear.

Chief Justice Warren is saying that Miranda's confession was given without knowing his legal rights.

In the famous Supreme Court case Miranda vs. Arizona, Miranda's lawyer argued that the confession given by his client was forced out of him without knowing his legal rights. This argument helped Miranda to win the case and established the Miranda warning that police officers are required to give. This warning lists what rights citizens have including:

a) The right to remain silent.

b) The right to an attorney.

c) That anything that is said can and will be used in a court of law.
