Our third installment of “You Have the Right to Remain Silent”- Join us as Carroll Cooley wraps up our segment on the Miranda case. "It's March of 1963. The time is approximately 11:30PM. Patricia Weir boards the bus following her shift at the Paramount Theater in Phoenix. She exits the bus at her stop at 7th Street and Marlette Avenue. As Patricia makes her way home, a man whom she does not know grabs her and forces her into his vehicle-- she is kidnapped, bound, and raped. Following the assault, Patricia's attacker drops her off near her home. At around 2AM, Phoenix Police Department receives a call from Patricia’s home at 1014 E. Citrus Way. Detective Carroll Cooley is assigned to the case. Little did Detective Cooley know, this call would leave a mark on American history and policing as a whole; the Miranda Rights would spring from Patricia's case."
