• holding that the defendant’s due process rights, as recognized by Doyle, were violated when the prosecution cross-examined him about his failure to answer some questions during a post-Miranda interrogation
• holding that the admission of an FBI agent’s testimony that the defendant “answered some questions but then refused to say how much and in what manner he paid for the vehicle and from whom he purchased it” constituted plain error
• applying Doyle to find “plain error” in a “selective silence” SALINAS – 33 scenario, but without any discussion of the fact that the defendant had expressed a “willingness to talk” after receiving Miranda warnings and then “answered some questions”
