Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that statements made by a person accused of a crime could not be used as evidence at trial unless the person voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waived the constitutional right to remain silent. This decision had a major impact on law enforcement, creating a new procedure for police officers questioning or obtaining confessions from suspects. This book is a thorough but accessible study of the legal arguments behind the ruling as well as an examination of the decision s legacy and effects on law enforcement. |
