Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Miranda argued that his confession was not voluntary, because he had not been told about his right to remain silent.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Even though Miranda had written his confession under a statement saying that he was fully aware of his legal rights, his lawyers argued those rights had not been made explicitly clear to him. Under the duress of detainment, they argued, his confession should not be deemed admissible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Miranda Rights were created in 1966 as a result of the United States Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warning is intended to protect the suspect’s Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer self-incriminating questions.

Detailed explanation-3: -He argued that custodial interrogation was not inherently coercive and did not require such a broad interpretation of the protections of the Fifth Amendment. Such an interpretation harms the criminal process by destroying the credibility of confessions.
