Ironic Ending

The last few sentences of this article - those describing Miranda's death and the escape of his killer - are so perfectly ironic that they seem possibly an urban myth. Can this be confirmed anywhere? I'd really like to see a reference attached to that last paragraph because it seems almost fictional (and is written in a suitably mythic manner).

I agree. I can find no references to Miranda giving out autographed cards, and from what I knew of him previously it seems out of line with his character. Secondly, a policeman would not pick up a rights card and read it - that is patently ludicrous. I am rewriting that section, although the whole article should be put up to scrutiny. --Edwin Herdman 10:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I've edited that out. However, sources seem to disagree as to whether there was just one suspect or multiple ones - the American Heritage source I botched into the article says there were suspects, plural, but another source said there was only one. More research is needed. --Edwin Herdman 10:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assorted confusion

The page says "in November, 2006, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Miranda's case." November '06 hasn't yet begun. Can somebody please correct this?

Miranda was convicted again due to a confession made to his wife? I thought he wasn't married? Keppa 20:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
