Court Decision
The court ruled 5 to 4 in favor of Miranda. Majority opinion concluded "The defendants arrested under state law must be informed of their constitutional rights against self-incrimination and to representation by an attorney before being interrogated when in police custody." Someone who represented the minority opinion stated "I believe the decision of the Court represents poor constitutional law and entails harmful consequences for the country at large. How serious these consequences may prove to be only time can tell." As you can see this person felt Ernesto should've been convicted for what he did.
