Does remaining silent during an interrogation actually invoke one’s right to remain silent? In a landmark case, two police officers interrogated a criminal suspect, Van Chester Thompkins, who refused to acknowledge whether or not he invoked his Miranda rights during his interrogation by staying completely silent. What techniques did the police officers utilize in their interrogation, and how did their methods hold up in court?
