Limitations of the Original Opinion
Limitations of the Original Opinion
This is the first of four chapters describing different causes for the less-than-anticipated impact of the Miranda decision. The decision was a compromise, and did not go as far as it could have. For example, the justices considered, but rejected, a requirement of an attorney’s presence when the warnings were given. The decision limited the application of the warnings to only those interrogations when the defendant was “in custody,” and the Court was vague about the timing requirements.
