Miranda Rights: The Confession That Changed American Policing

You know the words by heart: "You have the right to remain silent." But do you know the crime behind them? In 1963, a man named Ernesto Miranda confessed to a violent crime in a Phoenix police station, was convicted, and sentenced to decades in prison. Three years later, the Supreme Court threw out his conviction, not because he was innocent, but because of how he'd been questioned. The ruling changed the rules for every police interrogation in America, and what happened to Miranda afterward is one of the strangest stories in criminal justice history. This is episode 1 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy. Four crimes, four failures, and four systems that exist because someone refused to let it happen again. New episodes drop every Monday, and all four are available now, ad-free, on Crime House Plus.
