What a crock of you know what! This is why people hate lawyers, and the system that lets the turds go free so they can cause more pain and misery. Good grief!

While this case is a poor example to use to illustrate why Miranda is important, Miranda is one of the few reasons people like lawyers, not hate them. Next time you get arrested for driving 56 in a 55, I bet you would prefer that the police not have the power to jail you for 30 days and torture you until you confess to some murder they haven't been able to solve.

Note also that this guy will not go free. He will remain incarcerated on a charge of murder while the state retries the case without the confession.

You may find this link informative on why Miranda is important. Again, the above is a bad example, but in a number of cases, false confessions have been beaten out of people.
