I was arrested but never read my Miranda rights. Does that mean my case gets thrown out?
Not automatically. Miranda only applies to custodial interrogation — if you weren't questioned while in custody, or if prosecutors don't use your statements, the case can still proceed. But any statements you made after arrest without being read your rights may be suppressed, which can seriously weaken the case against you. Get a defense attorney to review the details.
