Captain's Conundrum

Will you solve the Miranda Mishap or attempt Gideon's Gamble?

Fort of the Lawless

Just like any good pirate deserves a fair trial, so too do citizens taken before the court. Lesson 4.02 held a treasure trove of knowledge about some landmark Supreme Court cases that protect the rights of the accused!

The Miranda Mishap Imagine you're walking home from school when a police officer flags you down because you "fit the description" of a suspected shoplifter. They take you down to the station for questioning. Based on the Miranda v. Arizona case what should the police officer do before questioning you?

Gideon's GambleYour neighbor, Mr. Garcia, gets arrested for vandalism at the local park. He can't afford a fancy lawyer to defend him in court. Should he be forced to represent himself in a trial with complicated legal procedures?
