Davidson v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the defendant unequivocally invoked his right to silence when he repeatedly said that he had “nothing to say”
• concluding constitutional error was not harmless, in part because the jury asked for recharge on issues implicated by error
• rejecting State’s argument that invocation of Miranda during interrogation was invalid because invocation preceded Miranda warnings
• reviewing error in admitting statement made by the defendant after he invoked his right to remain silent
• “Nothing 17 in Miranda suggests . . . that the right to remain silent in response to a custodial interrogation attaches only if, and when, law enforcement officers have read the Miranda warning.”
• “We are unconvinced that any error in the admission of [an alleged co-conspirator’s] statement had an effect on the outcome of the trial.”
