Supreme Court upholds Miranda warnings in Dickerson ruling
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that police must read suspects their Miranda rights before questioning. The decision, led by Chief Justice Rehnquist, states Miranda cannot be overruled by Congress and preserves 1966 warnings amid ongoing debates over Section 3501 of the 1968 Omnibus Act. The ruling centers on Charles Dickerson of Takoma Park, Md., whose confession followed noncompliance with Miranda.
