The question below, the Miranda v. Arizona outcome answer is "Should legal counsel always be appointed by the court, or should the citizen accused of a crime have the right to choose the attorney he would like to represent him?"

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. Supreme Court's turning point resolution was resulted from "Miranda v. Arizona" case in which the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution inhibits prosecutors from using comments made by an individual in reaction to police custody questioning as witnesses in their case unless they can prove that the person was advised of the right to contact an attorney both before and during inquiry. Some deemed Miranda a drastic shift in US criminal law.
