    Provisions of the Bill

    of Rights
    Karl Neo Popon
    Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
    ▪ Ernesto Miranda was arrested in 1963 and charged with
    kidnapping and rape based on circumstantial evidence.
    During police interrogation, Miranda confessed to the
    crimes. However, Miranda was not informed of his Fifth
    Amendment right against self-incrimination nor his Sixth
    Amendment right to counsel. His confession was used as
    evidence against him in court, and he was convicted and
    sentenced to prison.
    Legal Issue:

    ▪ The main issue in Miranda V.. Arizona was whether


    the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-
    incrimination and the Sixth Amendment's right to
    counsel required that individuals be informed of
    their rights before being interrogated by law
    enforcement.
    Supreme Court Decision:

    ▪ In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court


    ruled in favor of Miranda. The Court held that the
    Fifth Amendment's protection against self-
    incrimination requires law enforcement officials to
    inform individuals in custody of their rights, which
    include the right to remain silent and the right to an
    attorney. This became known as the "Miranda
    rights" or "Miranda warning."
    Application of Bill of Rights Provisions:

    ▪ Fifth Amendment (Right Against Self-Incrimination): Miranda's confession was


    initially used against him without him being aware of his right to remain silent.
    The Supreme Court affirmed that individuals must be informed of this right to
    prevent coerced confessions and protect against self-incrimination.
    ▪ Sixth Amendment (Right to Counsel): Miranda was not informed of his right to
    have an attorney present during questioning. The Supreme Court recognized that
    this right is crucial to ensuring a fair trial and protecting individuals during police
    interrogations.
    ▪ Due Process (Incorporation Doctrine): Miranda's case also touched upon the
    principles of due process, ensuring that legal proceedings are fair and that
    individuals are adequately informed of their rights before being subjected to
    potentially coercive interrogation tactics.
    Impact:

    ▪ The Miranda decision had a significant impact on law


    enforcement procedures across the United States. It
    established the requirement for law enforcement to
    issue the Miranda warning to suspects before
    custodial interrogation, thereby safeguarding
    individuals' rights against self-incrimination and
    ensuring the availability of legal counsel.
    Conclusion:

    Miranda v. Arizona exemplifies how the provisions of


    the Bill of Rights, particularly the Fifth and Sixth
    Amendments, protect individuals' rights in real-
    world legal contexts. This case underscores the
    importance of procedural safeguards to uphold
    fundamental liberties and ensure fair treatment
    under the law.
