Damien Snyder · Answer 1

It says that accused people do not have to testify against themselves.

On March 13, 1963, a Phoenix resident, Ernesto Miranda, was arrested for being suspect of r. pe and kidnapping. In the police station, he was questioned by police officers and within two hours, he confessed to having committed the crimes.

However, he hadn't been informed of his constitutional rights prior to the interrogation, such as the one stated in the Fifth Amendment that protected him from self-incrimination (his right to not testify against himself). Likewise, he was not informed either of his right to have legal counsel assist him, guaranteed in the 16th Amendment. Therefore, his confessions could not be used as evidence at trial.
