Question

Miranda rights include all of the following EXCEPT:

a. the right to remain silent
b. the right to an attorney
c. the right to a phone call
d. the right to have an attorney provided, if the defendant can not afford one

Answer 1

Miranda rights include all of these options, EXCEPT c. the right to a phone call.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miranda rights emerged from a historic case (Miranda v. Arizona), where the U.S. Supreme Court decided that whenever a person is taken into custody, he or she must be told of the Fifth Amendment right as a protection against self-incrimination.

The Fifth Amendment mentions four elements that must be mentioned to the person before being questioned:

1. the right to remain silent;
2. anything they say can and will be used against them in court;
3. right to an attorney;
4. the right to have an attorney provided, if the defendant can not afford one.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Miranda rights include all of the following except the right to a phone call. The right to a phone call seems so out of place here. This right is not being tackled in the Miranda rights. Hope this answers the question.
