Description

Respondent entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity to a charge of sexual battery. At his trial in the Circuit Court for Sarasota County, Florida, the prosecutor argued that respondents silence after receiving Miranda warnings was evidence of his sanity. The question presented is whether such use of a defendants silence violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as construed in Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 610 (1976).
