Miranda v. Arizona

(1966) A kidnapping was carried out by Ernesto Miranda in 1963. He was identified as the criminal and promptly taken into an interrogation by police. No one informed Miranda of his rights prior to his questioning. He wrote a signed confession stating the nature of his crimes and stating that he knew and understood his rights, and voluntarily waived them. Miranda was denied counsel and was sentenced to 20 years. Some argued he shouldn't have been sentenced because he wasn't informed of his rights. I think the crime is serious enough that the written and signed confession should have been accepted. He did state he understood his rights. The verdict was a little unconstitutional though.
