Escobedo v. Illinois
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Escobedo v. Illinois established that criminal suspects have a right to counsel not just at trial but during police interrogations. The ACLU of Illinois argued the case before the Supreme Court, citing the police’s own textbooks on how to conduct aggressive interrogations.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a 5-4 decision authored by Justice Goldberg, the Court ruled that Escobedo’s Sixth Amendment rights had been violated. The Court reasoned that the period between arrest and indictment was a critical stage at which an accused needed the advice of counsel perhaps more than at any other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Illinois, 378 U.S. 478 (1964) As soon as someone is in the custody of law enforcement, he or she has a Sixth Amendment right to speak to an attorney.
Detailed explanation-4: -This case established the absolute right to remain silent. This came to be as Escobedo was refused consultation with his lawyer and was eventually made to confess to murder. Basically he was forced to incriminate himself and as a result had his rights violated.
