  • holding that trial judge’s denial of requested jury instruction did not violate defendant’s right to assistance of counsel
  • holding that jury instruction stating that the defendant had the “option” of taking the stand and chose not to testify, which court gave over defendant’s objection, did not violate Fifth Amendment
  • holding that trial court did not vio- late Griffin by instructing jury regarding right not to testify over defendant's objection, even though the instruction may have called unwanted attention to defendant's failure to testify
  • explaining that \[t]he layman's natural first suggestion would probably be that the resort to privilege in each instance is a clear confession of the crime\
