Ernesto Miranda was found guilty on all counts.
Ernesto Miranda had been denied his rights.
Ernesto Miranda could not be tried twice for the same crime.
Ernesto Miranda did not have the right to avoid self-incrimination.

Answer 1

In the Miranda v. Arizona decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Ernesto Miranda had been denied his rights. Specifically, the Court held that the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination requires law enforcement to inform individuals in custody of their rights to an attorney and against self-incrimination before questioning them. This ruling led to the establishment of what is now known as "Miranda rights."
