Even so, Miranda has plunged many police into despair. Omaha's Public Safety Director Francis Lynch argues, "If we can't get to the truth, we can't solve cases. If we can't talk to the accused, whom can we talk to? The victim is often either dead or missing." Cincinnati Prosecutor Melvin Rueger complains, "Guilt or innocence is no longer the issue.

Those young guys were inconvenienced too, you know. Because they were, you've got your precious freedom and college education...
Just as the Dancer was in 1953, when he lost to Dark Star by a head (the only defeat of his career), Kauai King was the post-time favorite-at odds of 2-1. Owned by Omaha businessman Mike Ford, who bought him as a yearling for $42,000, he was clearly a stick-out in an otherwise lackluster 15-horse field: he had earned $125,647, won seven out of twelve races, including three stakes, and he had finished out of the money only twice in his career.
