Answer 1

The Correct Answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

• Ernesto Miranda was arrested in 1966 under the charges of abduction and sexually assault of an 18 year old woman.
• After being examined by police, Miranda presented the police with both verbal and written confession, however, in the whole process he was not notified of his right to a lawyer or legal counselor which is the violation of the 5th and 6th Amendment right.
• Miranda confession was used at the trial and he was found guilty and sentenced 20 to 30 years of imprisonment.
