......Self-Incrimination Privilege
.........Comment on Exercise of Privilege

2 Cards On This Topic:

When D elects to testify in his own defense, comment on his failure to explain facts against him does not violate privilege against self-incrimination.

D's failure to exercise right to remain silent allows DA to cross-examine D on inconsistencies between statement given police and testimony.
