Description

The question in these consolidated cases is whether a state prosecutor may seek to impeach a defendants exculpatory story, told for the first time at trial, by cross-examining the defendant about his failure to have told the story after receiving Miranda warnings at the time of his arrest. We conclude that use of the defendants post-arrest silence in this manner violates due process, and therefore reverse the convictions of both petitioners.
