California] [ 380 U.S. 609 , 85 S.Ct. 1229 , 14 L.Ed.2d 106 ] case that the court was there concerned only with adverse comment, whether by the prosecutor or the trial judge — ‘comment by the prosecution on the accused’s silence or instructions by the court that such silence is evidence of guilt.’ Id. at 615, 85 S.Ct., at 1233 . The court reasoned that such adverse comment amounted to ‘a penalty imposed by courts for exercising a constitutional privilege. It cuts down on the .privilege by making its assertion costly.’ Id., at 614, 85 S.Ct., at 1232 .” Id. at 338-39, 90 S.Ct. at 1094.”
