Politics. Wisconsin. Bringing It All Back Home.
The financial ability of the individual has no relationship to the scope of the rights involved here. The privilege against self-incrimination secured by the Constitution applies to all individuals. The need for counsel in order to protect the privilege exists for the indigent as well as the affluent.
While authorities are not required to relieve the accused of his poverty, they have the obligation not to take advantage of indigence in the administration of justice.
--Chief Justice Earl Warren. Today is the anniversary of Miranda v. Arizona.
