Miranda v. Arizona
This decision reversed an Arizona court’s conviction of Ernesto Miranda on
kidnapping and rape charges. The case made it all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court, where the conviction was overthrown. In a landmark ruling issued in 1966,
the court established that the accused have the right to remain silent and that
prosecutors may not use statements made by defendants while in police custody
unless the police have advised them of their rights, commonly known as Miranda Rights.

In the 1964 case of New York Times v. Sullivan, the U.S. Supreme Court underlined the
importance of a free, robust, inquiring, and possibly critical press to the healthy functioning of a
democratic society. The decision used the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to put tight
limits on the ability of public officials to punish press critics through the use of libel suits.
