42 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“In this case, no governmental action induced petitioner to remain silent before arrest. The failure to speak occurred before the petitioner was taken into custody and given Miranda warnings. Consequently, the fundamental unfairness present in Doyle is not present in this case. We hold that impeachment by use of prearrest silence does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.”
33 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“witnesses to be impeached by their previous failure to state a fact in circumstances in which that fact naturally would have been asserted.”
