He was found guilty of both crimes, based largely on his confession during police interrogations. The convictions were overturned by the US Supreme Court in 1966, because he had never been told by police that he had the Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination by not answering questions, and the Sixth Amendment right to have an attorney present during interrogation.<p> Since Miranda's convictions were overturned, police in America have generally been required to explain these Constitutional rights in cases where a suspect's testimony may be used against him/her in court. In common parlance, this is called <i>the Miranda warning</i>, and while the phrasing may vary, it usually sounds something like this: "You have the right to remain silent; anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney, and to have an attorney present during questioning; if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you, if you wish."<p> None of this made much difference for Miranda himself, however. He was re-tried, this time without having his confession admitted as evidence, and re-convicted. After serving his sentence, he was murdered in a Phoenix bar in 1976.<p><b>Girlfriend:</b> Twila Hoffman<br><p> <a href="/event/579/000126201/">Dishonorable Discharge</a> <br> <a href="/lists/761/000091488/">Eponyms</a> Mirandize<br> <a href="/crime/314/000047173/">Burglary</a> <br> <a href="/crime/305/000043176/">Armed Robbery</a> Los Angeles, CA (charges dropped)<br> <a href="/crime/773/000111440/">AWOL</a> multiple<br> <a href="/crime/845/000054683/">Vagrancy</a> Texas<br> <a href="/crime/343/000043214/">Car Theft</a> Nashville, TN<br> <a href="/lists/701/000401495/">Inmate: Lompoc Federal Penitentiary</a> 1961<br> <a href="/crime/313/000043184/">Kidnapping</a> Phoenix, AZ (3-Mar-1963), convicted, overturned, re-convicted<br> <a href="/crime/308/000043179/">Rape</a> Phoenix, AZ (3-Mar-1963), convicted, overturned, re-convicted (Mar-1967)<br> <a href="/crime/305/000043176/">Armed Robbery</a> Phoenix, AZ (13-Mar-1963)<br> <a href="/event/700/000172184/">Psychiatric Observation</a> <br> <a href="/crime/431/000050281/">Unlawful Possession of a Firearm</a> charges dropped<br> <a href="/event/092/000348045/">Stabbed</a> Phoenix, AZ (fatal)<br> <a href="/group/759/000361673/">Assisted by the ACLU</a> <br> <a href="/lists/199/000048055/">Mexican Ancestry</a> <br> Risk Factors: <a href="/lists/787/000064595/">Schizophrenia</a><br> <p> <br> <p> <table> <tr> <td align=right valign=middle style="padding-right: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; color: #ff3333;">New!</span><br> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/" class="fotmlink" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #dd0000;">NNDB MAPPER</a></td> <td valign=middle align=right style="border-left: 1px solid #bbb; padding-left: 5px;">Create a map starting with</td> <td valign=middle align=right><a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=125221"><img src="/man.gif" border=0 style="padding: 2px;"></a></td> <td align=left valign=middle> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=125221">Ernesto Miranda</a></td> </tr> </table> <font face="Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2">Requires Flash 7+ and Javascript.</font> <br><br><p> <font size=-1>Do you know something we don't?</font><br> <font size=-1><a href="http://commentary.nndb.com/submit/feedback/?id=125221" rel="nofollow">Submit a correction or make a comment about this profile</a></font><br> <p> <br><br><p><font size=-1>Copyright ©2019 Soylent Communications</font><p> </td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </td> <td width=180 align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px 0px 8px 25px;"></td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
