Ernesto Miranda had been denied his rights.

The Supreme Court ruled (Miranda v. Arizona, 1966) that because Miranda was not informed of his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and his Sixth Amendment right to an attorney, his confession was inadmissible and police must warn suspects of these rights (the "Miranda warnings") before custodial interrogation.
