Answer:

He had confessed to crimes without being reminded of his right to avoid self-incrimination.

Explanation:

Part of the Fifth Amendment states that no one will be deprived of life, liberty, or property, or be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself (self-incrimination), without due process of law. 

On March 13, 1963, a Phoenix resident, Ernesto Miranda, was arrested for being suspect of r.pe and kidnapping. In the police station, he was questioned by police officers and within two hours, he confessed to committing the crimes.

However, in Court, Miranda alleged that his confession should bot to be used against him at trial because he hadn't been informed of his rights to avoid self-incrimination prior police interrogation, as the 5th Amendment guarantees. Likewise, he had not been advised of his right to have an attorney present during the interrogation as guaranteed in the 6th Amendment.
