““With due regard for our responsibilities as state judges, we have re-examined our holding in Gross and Hill [v. State, 371 N.E.2d 1303 (Ind.1978)] in light of reasoning and evaluation of interests revealed in Lakeside. Having done so, we remain convinced that the basic premises of this Court’s reasoning in Gross and Hill are sound and that the mechanism erected therein for the accused to choose whether to have the jury given an instruction regarding his failure to testify is a requisite for full realization of the right of each citizen granted by Article I, Section XIV [of the Indiana Constitution] that ‘no person, in any criminal prosecution, shall be compelled to testify against himself.’ ””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Hunter v. Clark · Lucas v. State“The Defendant is a competent witness to testify in his own behalf, and he may testify in his own behalf or not, as he may choose. In this case, the Defendant has not testified in his own behalf, and this fact is not to be considered by the Jury as any evidence of guilt, neither has the Jury any right to comment upon, refer to, or in any manner consider the fact that the defendant did not testify in arriving at your verdict in this case.”
