The other three individuals that were presented in the case included Vignera, Westover and Stewart who were exposed to similar experiences as to that of Miranda.

    Through the disclosure of rights and encouragement of legal counsel, Miranda warnings provide a suspect with the opportunity to have legal representation to help protect them from unintentional or involuntary confessions. Legal representatives can provide protection against deceitful interrogation and potential violations of their rights. The second reason I support the argument is that Miranda V.

In many situations, police officers and other law enforcement officials will attempt to lie and manipulate a detainee into providing information.
