Read Chief Justice Warren's decision from the Miranda case.

The entire thrust of police interrogation
was to put the defendant in such an emotional state as to impair
his capacity for rational judgment. . . . [T]he choice on his part to speak to the police-was not made
knowingly.
What did Chief Justice Warren say about how Miranda's confession was made?
• Miranda was aware of his rights when he made his confession.
© Miranda incriminated himself intentionally and knowingly.
O Miranda was unaware of his rights but his confession could be used.
• Miranda incriminated himself without knowing that he could refuse to do so.

the correct answer is "miranda incriminated himself without knowing that he could refuse to do so." this case was the stepping stone for creating the miranda rights. officers are required to say that we have the right to remain silent. if they do not, and we confess to something, they are unable to use that as evidence or confession.
