Miranda's Victim

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.” Most people in the United States are familiar with the Miranda Warning, but few can tell you how it came to be. This remarkable story is portrayed for the first time in Michelle Danner’s Miranda’s Victim (2023), staring Abigail Breslin, Luke Wilson, and Ryan Phillippe.
