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 interrogator never needs to know why a suspect wants to remain silent”
• finding that habeas petition challenging an attempted robbery conviction was not moot after petitioner’s release from custody “since a felony conviction carries certain ‘collateral consequences’”
• questioning continued validity of cases that held that police could confront suspects with incriminating evidence even after they invoked their Miranda rights
• inquiry as to why suspect wishes to remain silent is impermissible interrogation, not lawful clarification
• defendant’s refusal to talk to police invoked his right to cut off questioning
• Clearly, Anderson’s [habeas] challenges [to his attempted robbery conviction] are not moot, since a felony conviction carries certain ‘collateral consequences.’... For example, a convicted felon cannot obtain a license from some businesses, . . . or serve jury duty[.]’’
