Ironic story of the day
I'm sure many of you have heard of "Miranda Rights". It's based on the case of Miranda vs. Arizona, where the US Supreme court reversed his conviction on kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery because the arresting officers had failed to inform him of his legal rights. His story is today's Ironic story of the day:
After his conviction was overturned, Ernesto Miranda was retried and convicted based on other evidence. He served eleven years in prison. In 1976, at the age of 34, he was stabbed to death in a bar fight. The man suspected of killing him invoked his Miranda rights and refused to talk to police. He was released and never charged with Miranda?s murder.
