A suspect who waives the Miranda rights must understand those rights and must not be forced into giving them up. To decide whether a suspect’s waiver of Miranda rights is valid, courts study the facts and circumstances of the case, including the suspect’s background, experience and conduct. Confessions that are not provided voluntarily by suspects cannot be used in court.
