Miranda Confession Questioned Spoke English Understand Attorney Police

In  Miranda v. Arizona, Miranda's voluntary confession was suppressed because

Miranda spoke such poor English that he did not fully understand his rights as told to him and an interpreter was not provided.

Miranda asked for an attorney but was questioned before the attorney arrived.

Miranda was questioned in a police interrogation room and the Court deemed the setting too coercive, particularly since he did not know his rights, and even though he was not forced to talk by the police, his confession was therefore not truly voluntary.

Miranda spoke English but did not read English, so he did not understand that the document he signed was a confession.
