The famous US police warning to suspects that begins \u201cYou have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law\u201d dates back to a landmark ruling by the US Supreme Court on June 13th, 1966.\nKnown as the Miranda rights, or Miranda warnings, the case of Ernesto Miranda, who was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and rape, reached the highest court in the land because of his lawyers\u2019 contention that he had not been properly made aware of his rights.\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss how a relatively unremarkable (though very serious) case came to have huge nationwide implications; detail the strange way Miranda made money after he got out of prison; and examine the bitter irony of Miranda\u2019s own death at the hands of a fellow prison inmate\u2026\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Miranda Rights: Your Rights of Silence\u2019 (ThoughtCo, 2022): https://www.thoughtco.com/miranda-rights-your-rights-of-silence-3320117\n\u2022 \u2018The Miranda rights are established\u2019 (History.com, 2009): https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-miranda-rights-are-established\xa0\n\u2022 \u2018Do You Know Your Miranda Rights? | Debunker\u2019 (NBC, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXXjUcI2kcc\xa0\n#60s #US #Crime\nLove the show?
