BOTH contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.

WHO IS MIRANDA?

From U.S. Courts.gov: “The Supreme Court’s decision in Miranda v. Arizona addressed four different cases involving custodial interrogations,” in which each defendant was interrogated without getting “a full and effective warning of his rights at the outset of the interrogation process.”

Chief Justice Earl Warren very clearly spelled out those rights in the Supreme Court ruling: “In the absence of other effective measures, the following procedures to safeguard the Fifth Amendment privilege must be observed: the person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, a lawyer will be appointed to represent him.”

Imagine if it had been called the “Warren Warning” — the Jeopardy! clues on it would surely contain the word “alliterative.”

Kate bet it all and doubled her score to $5,200.

Rob bet $16,399 to win with $37,999, another great payday. His 4-day total is $92,298.
