““if... a defendant would have offered evidence at trial with a bearing on the basis later claimed for requesting an extended prison term, and if for some reason the defendant would have a substantially diminished opportunity to present such evidence at the hearing on his sentence, his prejudice should preclude the imposition of any extended term.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. State v. Reid“By describing his choice as a refusal to confess, he implied that he had done something to confess about. It was this implication that took the defendant's retort outside the realm of allusions to the fifth amendment and affirmatively indicated his consciousness of guilt.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Coppola v. Powell“Let me tell you something. I'm not one of your country bumpkins. I grew up on the streets of Providence, Rhode Island. And if you think I'm going to confess to you, you're crazy.”
