Anyone really into law?

i have to find a few court cases where the defendant pleaded the fifth amendment. they have to be fairly "famous" court cases. I need to write a 2-3 page report on them which will be no problem once i find the actual cases. I highly doubt anyone will be able to help me but i figured it would be worth asking cause i know us hockey players are always the smartest ones in class too lol

Do you need actual cases or are you using them as examples in the paper, like this would be a situation to use it? I can't think of any off the top of my head, I'll try and see if I have any records downstairs from my Law classes, unfortunately they were wiped off the computer.

There are acutally a few present/past law students on this board. Dave (hockeyshark) comes to mind. He may be of some help.

actual cases so i can describe the case... this class is killing me... i like courses like math and history where its straight forward only one answer none of this look at the whole picture looking for flaws and stuff like that

Make sure you cite some the DUI rulings that essentially state you can't assert your 5th amendment rights. The Miranda case is a famous one that resulted in the "miranda warning" police must read you if you are arrested. It was a result of a 5th amendment ruling from the supreme court.

This Should give you a good starting point, as should this.

I didnt' realize "Miranda" was named for a person. I mean, I knew it was a person...but I didnt' think it was a charged person. I thought maybe a lawyer or judge or something.
