Anyone exposed to the judicial process and being arrested should learn about what it means to surrender one's Miranda rights and the consequences of doing so. In today’s Earning Freedom podcast, I spoke with Linda. Her son was charged as a sexual offender following his case being moved from the state level to the federal level. Linda spoke of how the US attorney chose to take up his case once he had given up his Miranda rights and chose to cooperate with the police. I relayed to her that many people going into processes like these do not have a full understanding of how our system operates. Linda is optimistic she can use what she learned from her family's ordeal to help others in similar situations to avoid such outcomes.
