Which case's trial summary notes a charge of kidnapping and rape with 20-30 year sentences on each count?

• A. Miranda v. Arizona.
• B. Marbury v. Madison.
• C. New Jersey v. TLO.
• D. Plessy v. Ferguson.

Answer: (A)

Miranda v. Arizona is the one that matches a trial record noting charges of kidnapping and rape with long sentences (20-30 years on each count). This case involved Ernesto Miranda being convicted on kidnapping and rape charges, among others, and those lengthy counts appear in the trial summary before the Supreme Court’s decision about interrogations and the rights advisory. The other cases deal with entirely different legal issues—Marbury v. Madison focuses on judicial review; New Jersey v. TLO on student searches; Plessy v. Ferguson on segregation—so they don’t fit the description of a trial record listing kidnapping and rape charges with substantial sentences.
