Question

7 why was miranda’s confession considered coerced? a the police beat miranda up b miranda did not know his rights c miranda confessed to a crime he didn’t commit d miranda was questioned for over 2 hours

Explanation:

To determine why Miranda’s confession was considered coerced, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There’s no indication the police physically beat Miranda.
• Option B: In the Miranda v. Arizona case, Miranda was not informed of his rights (like right to counsel, right to remain silent) before interrogation. Not knowing his rights meant the confession was coerced as he didn’t understand he could refuse or have legal help.
• Option C: Whether he committed the crime isn’t the basis for coercion of the confession.
• Option D: The duration of questioning alone (over 2 hours) isn’t the key; the lack of rights disclosure is.

So the correct reason is that Miranda did not know his rights.

Answer:

B. Miranda did not know his rights
