Ernesto Miranda

Ernesto Arturo Miranda ( b. March 9, 1941, Mesa, Arizona - d. January 31, 1976, Phoenix, Arizona) was a laborer whose conviction on rape charges based on his confession under police interrogation resulted in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case (Miranda v. Arizona) which ruled that a police officer upon arresting a person must read him his rights to counsel and to remain silent.
