Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 US 478 (1964)
landmark supreme court case in which defendants had right to counsel and right to remain silent even before being indicted of crimes.
5:4 decision
used 6th Amendment to uphold the decision
22-year-old Escobedo was arrested for murdering his brother-in-law by gun. His lawyer failed to consult with him, wasn't read his rights, and so said information that shouldn't have been used (it's now unconstitutional to use information taken from people when their rights have not been read.)
Court deemed Escobedo's confession inadmissible, overturned his conviction, and ordered that he be given another trial.

∙ 11y agoIn 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling that under the 6th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, everyone has the right to Counsel, starting From the time they are named "suspects". Escobedo was a 22 year old Mexican immigrant that was charged with shooting his Brother-in-law in Chicago, Illinois. He was subsequently interrogated for 14 1/2 hours after requesting that his Attorney be present during the interrogation. The Chicago Police Department denied his right to Counsel, hence the violation of his civil rights that led to the appeals process going in front of the Justices of the Supreme Court.

Added: However, this case and the decision did not require that arrestees be explicitly notified of this right, a shortcoming which was addressed in a later case, Miranda v. Arizona.
