The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Indeed, there is no question here, just a statement. You forgot to include the question. What we can do to help you is to comment on the following.

Oscar has the right to remain silent. It is his right, according to "Miranda Rights," a decision of the US Supreme Court in the 1966 case Miranda v- Arizona.

This means that police has to inform a custodian that he/she has the right to remain silent, in the case he(she is about to be interrogated. It is part of the 5th amendment protection in the US constitution. Oscar also has the right to get a lawyer.
