The Miranda Rights were formed in 1966 because in 1966, a man named Ernesto Miranda was not read his rights during his arrest. He had confessed to his crimes, but because the rights were not given, his confession could not be used as evidence in the case, and as a result, he had to be retried.
We now call them Miranda Rights because his case started a new requirement that all
citizens must be read their rights at and arrest to make the trial honorable.
