But after he confesses without legal representation and is granted a retrial, it triggers a legal proceeding that forever changes the nation’s justice system.

After a voluntary confession, her assailant, Ernesto Miranda (Sebastian Quinn), is convicted but the verdict is later overturned by the US Supreme Court since his confession was made without an attorney present.

In the resulting retrial, a determined prosecutor (Luke Wilson) seeks to hold Miranda fully accountable notwithstanding defense attorney’s (Ryan Phillippe) rigorous defense.

What follows is a legal proceeding that will forever change the nation’s justice system.

“Miranda’s Victim” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 17-23. Showtimes will be Friday, Monday and Wednesday, May 17, 20 and 22 at 7:00 p.m.; and Tuesday and Thursday, May 21 and 23 at 4:00 p.m.
