Criminal investigation
The landmark case of Miranda v. Arizona depicts traditional encounters of police with the public. The case changed the defined encounter of police with juveniles. Miranda signed a confession accepting rape, robbery and kidnapping after hours of investigation. he was sentenced for 20 to 30 years. The conviction reflected a violation of the fifth and sixth amendments. The attorney of the defendant claimed that the confession is not admissible because the defendant lacked knowledge of his rights CITATION You1812 \l 1033 (YouTube, 2018). he also stated that Miranda was coerced for making a confession. Supreme Court accepted the claims of the defendant's attorney and released Miranda after eight years of the sentence.
The case changed the future course because the Supreme Court ruled that the statements of the defendant are inadmissible if the defendant is unaware of his rights. The landmark case promoted the rights of defendants by ensuring that they must understand their rights. The fifth and sixth amendments give the right remaining silent to the offenders. The Supreme Court recognized the significance of protecting amendments and stated that the defendant must possess complete information about his right of silence during interrogations.
This case suggests the need for improving interactions between juveniles and the police officers. Maintaining video records of interrogations can be an effective tool for providing evidence of the officer's engagement in coercive activities. This will prevent officers from taking violent roles during confessions CITATION You1812 \l 1033 (YouTube, 2018). Similarly, the court's decision of giving complete information to the defender about his right to silence will also eliminate the possibilities of wrongful practices. The prosecutors can assure that the defendant was provided with the attorney and that they hold knowledge of their rights. Such steps will eliminate the opportunities of officer's engagement in coercion.
