Edwards v. United States

Edwards v. United States (2019) was a Supreme Court case about the admissibility of certain statements made during a police interrogation. The Court ruled that if a person in custody is not informed of their Miranda rights before being questioned, their subsequent statements cannot be used as evidence in court. The decision emphasized the importance of properly informing individuals of their rights to protect against self-incrimination, reinforcing the procedural safeguards established by Miranda v. Arizona.
