"Should there be a retrial, I would leave the State free to attempt to prove these elements."

Now that's how you write a dramatic ending. Shmoop can't stand the suspense.

Court cases usually don't end with especially exciting lines, and they don't really need to. Just like with the opening lines, it's strictly business.

But there is a punch-packing closing line in Miranda v. Arizona, and it's at the end of the Opinion, just not the whole text itself. This is worth checking out because—let's face it—the Opinion is the real meat of a Supreme Court case. It tells us the court's decision and all the new rules that come from that decision.

Check out the closing line of the Opinion: "It is so ordered" (Opinion.V.18).

Earl Warren is telling us that's that, and everyone better deal with it.
