The case was between a man named Danny Escobedo and the Illinois Supreme court.

Danny Escobedo was arrested in Chicago and then let go. He was arrested again under suspicion for the murder of his brother-in-law, Manuel Valtierra. The murder occurred on January 19, 1960.

When the officers brought him in, Danny requested to speak to his attorney and they denied him the access to him.

During the trial, it was said that Escobedo had spoken to his attorney beforehand and that the 6th amendment could not have been broken because of that.

However that was overruled because Escobedo was aware of his right to counsel and the officers purposefully denied her.

The principles established in the Escobedo case continue to shape discussions on the protection of constitutional rights and due process in modern criminal investigations, reflecting the enduring relevance of the case's precedents.
