2020See Berghuis v. Thompkins, 560 U.S. 370, 384 (2010) (“Where the prosecution shows that a Miranda warning was given and that it was understood by the accused, an accused’s uncoerced statement establishes an implied waiver of the right to remain silent.”).

2020See Michigan v. Mosley, 423 U.S. 96, 104 (1975) (holding that “the admissibility of statements obtained after the person in custody has decided to remain silent depends under Miranda on whether his ‘right to cut off questioning’ was ‘scrupulously honored’” (emphasis added)); see also Berghuis v.

2020But Argueta, like Velarde, “broke the silence guaranteed constitutionally,” id., and is thus in no position to invoke Doyle—a point that remains unrefuted by the majority. 28 This is a strange charge coming from a majority unconcerned with the “key words” that do appear in Velarde.
