IV. LESSON PROPER

1. Presentation of the lesson
I will present to my students a video presentation that is in connection with my
discussion Miranda Rights/ Doctrina.

2. Discussion
The teacher discuss the Miranda Rights/ Doctrina.
Miranda Rights are named after the landmark US Supreme Court
case Miranda v. Arizona. Ernesto Miranda was arrested for stealing $8.00 from an
Arizona bank worker. After two hours of questioning, Miranda confessed not only
to the robbery but also to kidnapping and rape. When he was brought in for
questioning, he was never told that had did not have to speak to police, or that he
could consult with a lawyer; he simply confessed to the crimes. He was found
guilty.
The following is the standard Miranda warning: "You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the
right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any
questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at
government expense."
Each state makes its own rules about exactly what must be told to suspects who
have been arrested or are being held for interrogation by police, but the Supreme
Court ruling requires these four points to be clearly communicated:
1. You have the right to remain silent.
Silence cannot be used against defendants in court. However, there is a term
known as “Pre-Miranda” silence, which occurs when a suspect has not be read
his or her Miranda Rights and still remains silent.
2. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
 All suspects have the right to remain silent. Those who give up that right face
the prospect that their statements will be used against them in court.
3. You have the right to have an attorney present.
This gives a suspect the right to have legal counsel present at the time of the
interrogation. A suspect must be clearly informed that he or she has the right
to consult with an attorney and have an attorney present before answering any
questions by police.
4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.
In order to make sure a person being interrogated has a clear understanding
of his or her rights, the suspect must be told that a lawyer will be appointed
without charge if needed.

Section 3, Article III.

1. Any person under investigation for the commission of an offense shall have the right
to be informed of his right to remain silent and to have competent and
independent counsel preferably of his own choice.
2. 2. No torture, force, violence, threat, intimidation, or any other means which vitiate the
free will shall be used against him. Secret detention places, solitary, incommunicado, or
other similar forms of detention are prohibited.
3. Any confession or admission obtained in violation of this section or Section 17 hereof
shall be inadmissible in evidence against him.
4. The law shall provide for penal and civil sanctions for violations of this Section as well as
compensation to rehabilitation of victims of torture or similar practices, and their families.

Sec. 5 (a) is also referred to as arrests in flagrante delicto, wherein two elements must exist:
(1) the person to be arrested must execute an overt act indicating that he has just committed,
is actually committing, or is attempting to commit a crime; and (2) such overt act is done in
the presence or within the view of the arresting officer. For an extended legal discussion on
in flagrante delicto and hot pursuit arrests.

V. APPLICATION

1. What is Miranda Rights/Doctrina?

2. What four things must be told by the police custody before being questioned?

VI. GENERALIZATION
In this lesson, I have concluded that people must be knowledgeable enough for
what Miranda Rights/Doctrina is all about so that when a police officer questioned a
suspect in custody without the Miranda warning, any statement or confession made
is presumed to be involuntary and cannot be used against the suspect in any
criminal case.

VII. EVALUATION
The teacher will group the class into two groups and let them perform a role play
based from a given scenario and how the students be able to apply the Miranda
Rights.
