Year: 1966
Result: 5-4 Miranda won
Constitutional Issue: 5th amendment
Right or Liberty: Liberty
Significance: The case made it so your Miranda rights have to be read to you when your arrested. It also gave more right to the accused especially against self incrimination.
Quote: "The cases before us raise questions which go to the roots of our concepts of American criminal jurisprudence: the restraints society must observe consistent with the Federal Constitution in prosecuting individuals for crime. More specifically, we deal with the admissibility of statements obtained from an individual who is subjected to custodial police interrogation and the necessity for procedures which assure that the individual is accorded his privilege under the fifth amendment to the Constitution not to be compelled to incriminate himself."
Summary: More rights for accused, self incrimination
