Miranda v. Arizona was a case that made its way up to the Supreme Court. Through this case it was established that the rights the arrested citizen had under the fifth and sixth amendment had been abused throughout the arrest and trial. This spurred the movement to have the legal rights a person has read to them during the time they are taken into custody.

Additional Rights in a West Palm Beach Arrest

Additionally, a defendant has several other rights recognized in the courts. It is a wise decision to pay attention to these rights and even exercise them.
