What is the arrest and crime of Miranda v Arizona?

Answer 1

Very briefly:

Miranda was the suspect in a repeated string of abductions and rapes in Phoenix, AZ and was taken into custody when the brother of one of the victims saw and recognized Miranda's truck as the one his sister had described. He was taken into custody, interrogated for two hours, and then presented in front of one of the witnesses who positively identified him, to which Miranda is alleged to have replied, Yeah, that's one of them."

There were no court ordered warnings against self-incrimination at the time, but this case was fought to the US Supreme Court which ultimately reversed his conviction and issued the groundbreaking so-called "Miranda Warning" ruling.

The state of AZ then re-tried Miranda without using any of the information contained in his original confession. He was convicted and sentenced to 20-30 years in prison. He was paroled but after being found carrying a gun was sent back to prison for another year. After his release Miranda had a record of petty crime and employment at lowly jobs, and at 34 years of age was knifed to death over a card game during a bar fight. His killer was alleged to be an illegal Mexican alien who fled back to Mexico. No arrest was ever made and his death was never officially solved.
