• noting that when an accused waives his Miranda rights “by voluntarily making statements, he may not rely on Doyle to object to the admission of those statements simply because the statements refer to the act of keeping silent.”
• considering whether Bruton applied to a codefendant's statement that could be read as referring to the defendant but was questionably inculpatory
• finding no Doyle violation where there “was no testimony as to whether [the co-defendant] responded to [the defendant’s] suggestion by remaining silent and there was no testimony about either party remaining silent in the face of questioning”
• narcotics agents had unsuccessfully pur- sued defendants and spontaneously recognized the defen- dants upon entering police station and seeing them in custody
