This lesson is the second lesson reviewing Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966). This lesson explores issues relating to the assertions by a suspect of the rights provided by Miranda--the right to silence and the right to an attorney prior to questioning; the application of the exclusionary rule to violations of Miranda; and exceptions to and limits on the Miranda rule.
Another lesson, Miranda I, reviews the reasoning and holding of Miranda; examines the issues of custody and interrogation--the two "triggers" set forth by the Court for when the protections become available to a suspect; and explores what constitutes a waiver of the protections of Miranda. Although the lessons can be completed in any order, it may be helpful to complete Miranda I before moving on to Miranda II.
