Given the fact that you are on probation it seems as though you were either convicted of a particular crime after a trial before a judge or jury or that you entered a guilty plea to the particular charge or charges.
Given this, it is too late for you to re-open your matter to claim that you were not read your rights per the Miranda decision. I suggest that you may wish to consult a criminal defense attorney further about your matter.
