The court decided on a 5-4 vote, that Miranda's trial was unfair because he did not know of his constitutional rights of self inscrimination and the right to a counsel during questioning. After the case, the Supreme Court ruled that all police officers have to "Mirandize" the person being arrested, or state the rights the person has and make sure the person understands them.
