If you have ever watched a crime show, you know the words. "You have the right to remain silent." But where did those words come from? In 1963, a man named Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona. Police questioned him for two hours. He confessed to a crime. But nobody told him he had the right to stay quiet. Nobody told him he could ask for a lawyer. Miranda's case went all the way to the Supreme Court. That is the highest court in the country. On June 13, 1966, the judges made a landmark decision. They ruled that police must tell every person their rights before questioning them. These rights include staying silent and having a lawyer present. The decision was not unanimous. Four judges agreed, but five voted yes. Today, the Miranda warning is read millions of times each year across the country.
