“[w]e set forth the legal principles that guide our analysis [of the defendant's claims] and our standard of review. In Doyle [v. Ohio , supra, 426 U.S. at 610 , 96 S.Ct. 2240 ] ... the United States Supreme Court held that the impeachment of a defendant through evidence of his silence following his arrest and receipt of Miranda warnings violates due process. ... Likewise, our Supreme Court has recognized that it is also fundamentally unfair and a deprivation of due process for the state to use evidence of the defendant's post- Miranda silence as affirmative proof of guilt .... Miranda warnings inform a person of his right to remain silent and assure him, at least implicitly, that his silence will not be used against him. ... Because it is the Miranda warning itself that carries with it the promise of protection ... the prosecution's use of [a defendant's] silence prior to the receipt of Miranda warnings does not violate due process. ... Therefore, as a factual predicate to an alleged Doyle violation, the record must demonstrate that the defendant received a Miranda warning prior to the period of silence that was disclosed to the jury. ... The defendant's claim raises a question of law over which our review is plenary.”
