Oh nice...
A recent MN Supreme Court case has held that a defendant's post-arrest, pre-Miranda silence can be used against him in the state's case-in-chief.
Because that makes a lot of sense.
Do they have an opinion on rendering a verdict based on reading the entrails of a chicken? After all, if people are finally realizing that talking to cops is a very, very bad idea, finally after the 45 years since Miranda v. Arizona, why not just randomly change all of the rules again?
Hmm...I'm not even sure I know what this means...so, you have the right to remain silent but, if you choose to do so, we'll assume that means your guilty and will use it against you??
