One of the most significant Supreme Court cases in U.S. history has its roots in Arizona and is closely tied to the states leading legal figures. Miranda has become a household word; now Gary Stuart tells the inside story of this famous case, and with it the legal history of the accuseds right to counsel and silence. Ernesto Miranda was an uneducated Hispanic man arrested in 1963 in connection with a series of sexual assaults, to which he confessed within hours. He was convicted not on the strength of eyewitness testimony or physical evidence but almost entirely because he had incriminated himself without knowing itand without knowing that he didnt have to. Stuart also updates the story to the Supreme Courts 2000 Dickerson decision upholding Miranda and considers its implications for cases in the wake of 9/11 and the rights of suspected terrorists. The author . . . tells the story simply, making even the most complicated and subtle legal points entirely clear. . . . Interesting, timely, and important. Booklist Now embedded in the national culture and embraced across political and social divides, Miranda serves that function. Western Legal History
