RICHARD STACK, Appellee." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "JUSTICE SIMON\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nIs a defendant entitled to a new trial because the State responded to his insanity defense by introducing evidence, over objection, that the defendant exercised his right against self-incrimination after being given the Miranda warnings?\nSometime during the afternoon of May 11, 1980, Richard Stack killed his wife and infant son. Defendant admitted the killings but claimed he was insane at the time. A jury in the circuit court of Cook County rejected that defense and found Stack guilty on both counts of murder; he was sentenced to concurrent life terms for each offense. On appeal, defendant\u2019s convictions were reversed (128 Ill. App. 3d 611), and we granted the State\u2019s petition for leave to appeal in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 315 (94 Ill. 2d R. 315).\nThe State contends that the appellate court erred in finding that prosecutors denied the defendant a fair trial by commenting on his exercise of the right to remain silent. After the defendant was arrested, he was taken to a hospital by the arresting officers for treatment of injuries sustained during the homicides. Defendant introduced evidence at trial that he made bizarre, disconnected statements to doctors and hospital personnel. In response, the State elicited the following testimony regarding defendant\u2019s conversation with an assistant State\u2019s Attorney.\n\u201cQ. [Assistant State\u2019s Attorney] Now, you said that Mr. Stack couldn\u2019t perceive reality on that day. Does it indicate in this document, doctor, that Mr. Bredeman, the state\u2019s attorney, went to the hospital and informed Stack of his right, pursuant to Mirando [sic], to each one he asked him if he understood and he replied he did. When he finished informing him of his rights, Richard Stack asked what would happen if he chose to remain silent. T told him I wouldn\u2019t ask him any questions,\u2019 And [sic] said that is what he wanted.\nMR. KULL [defense attorney]: Objection.\n* * *\nMR. KULL: Well, Judge, can I have a sidebar?\nTHE COURT: No, overruled.\nMR. KULL: I make a motion for a mistrial.\nTHE COURT: Denied. Come on, let\u2019s go.\u201d\nAnd later:\n\u201cQ. [Assistant State\u2019s Attorney] What did Mr. Stack say to Mr. Bredeman, tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury?\nA. [Detective Foley] Mr. Stack asked Mr. Bredeman what would happen if he chose not to say anything to Mr. Bredeman, to which Mr. Bredeman said I won\u2019t ask you any questions. Mr. Stack then said that\u2019s the way he wanted it. And the interview was stopped\u2014\nMR. KULL: Objection.\nTHE COURT: Overruled.\u201d\nThe defendant objects to this evidence as an unconstitutional burden on his exercise of the Miranda rights. Although the State acknowledges that it may not comment on defendant\u2019s silence so as to draw an inference of guilt (Doyle v. Ohio (1976), 426 U.S. 610, 49 L. Ed. 2d 91, 96 S. Ct. 2240; Griffin v. California (1965), 380 U.S. 609, 14 L. Ed. 2d 106, 85 S. Ct. 1229), it argues here that the behavioral component of defendant\u2019s lucid response to the Miranda warnings is admissible to rebut an insanity defense.\nIn Doyle, the court overturned defendants\u2019 convictions because of prosecutorial comments regarding defendants\u2019 exercise of Miranda rights. That decision turns on the fundamental unfairness of penalizing a defendant for accepting a course of action which the State has invited and the inherent ambiguity in a defendant\u2019s decision to remain silent (he might simply be adopting the State\u2019s advice). The State argues that these concerns are not implicated in this case.\nContrary to the State\u2019s assertions, Richard Stack was clearly penalized for having responded to the Miranda warnings. Had he not responded, the interrogation could have continued, although any statement made by the defendant would have been inadmissible without proof that he had understood the right to remain silent and had waived that right. (Tague v. Louisiana (1980), 444 U.S. 469, 62 L. Ed. 2d 622, 100 S. Ct. 652.) Since, in view of Tague, a defendant can end interrogation only by making an overt response, exercise of the right is clearly penalized if the State can use such a response to establish defendant\u2019s lucidity and, therefore, his culpability. For this reason, the use of defendant\u2019s Miranda response \u201ccuts down on the privilege by making its assertion costly\u201d and is violative of the fourteenth amendment. Griffin v. California (1965), 380 U.S. 609, 614, 14 L. Ed. 2d 106, 110, 85 S. Ct. 1229, 1233.\nThe defendant\u2019s trial did not comport with the requirements of due process because it is fundamentally unfair for the government to suggest this course of action and then use defendant\u2019s acceptance to prove his sanity. (State v. Burwick (Fla. 1983), 442 So. 2d 944.) Miranda warnings carry an implied promise that exercise of the right to remain silent will not be used against the defendant (Doyle v. Ohio (1976), 426 U.S. 610, 618, 49 L. Ed. 2d 91, 98, 96 S. Ct. 2240, 2245); the State may not exploit the recital of Miranda warnings to sing the Siren\u2019s song and lure a defendant into creating evidence against himself. In Wainwright v. Greenfield (1986), 474 U.S. 284, 88 L. Ed. 2d 623, 106 S. Ct. 634, decided while this case was under advisement in this court, the United States Supreme Court faced the very issue we now confront, and the court determined that it is fundamentally unfair for the prosecution to breach the State\u2019s implied promise by using ipost-Miranda silence, including statements of intent to remain silent (474 U.S. 284, 295 n.13, 88 L. Ed. 2d 623, 632 n.13, 106 S. Ct. 634, 640-41 n.13), as evidence of the defendant\u2019s sanity.\nWe are urged by the State not to apply Greenfield \u201cretroactively\u201d to this case because it was an unforeseeable extension of Doyle (although Doyle itself applies retroactively to cases on direct appeal (Phelps v. Duckworth (7th Cir. 1985), 757 E2d 811)) and because it will prejudice the State\u2019s case to be forced to retry the defendant\u2019s culpability four years after the original trial (Solem v. Stumes (1984), 465 U.S. 638, 79 L. Ed. 2d 579, 104 S. Ct. 1338). How the State could appeal from an adverse ruling in the appellate court and then argue that inevitable delays in the appeal process have so prejudiced its case as to require reversal of the appellate court decision is difficult to understand. Furthermore, we do not agree with the State\u2019s characterization of Greenfield as an unexpected extension of Doyle; the court did no more in Greenfield than apply the rules set forth in its previous opinions.\n\u201cThe point of the Doyle holding is that it is fundamentally unfair to promise an arrested person that his silence will not be used against him and thereafter to breach that promise by using the silence to impeach his trial testimony. It is equally unfair to breach that promise by using silence to overcome a defendant\u2019s plea of insanity In both situations, the state gives warnings to protect constitutional rights and implicitly promises that any exercise of those rights will not be penalized. In both situations, the State then seeks to make use of the defendant\u2019s exercise of those rights in obtaining his conviction. The implicit promise, the breach, and the consequent penalty are identical in both situations.\u201d (Emphasis added.) Wainwright v. Greenfield (1986), 474 U.S. 284, 292, 88 L. Ed. 2d 623, 630-31,106 S. Ct. 634, 639.\nGreenfield merely fleshes out the Doyle rule and applies it where necessary to avoid a fundamentally unfair trial. Solem v. Stumes (1984), 465 U.S. 638, 79 L. Ed. 2d 579, 104 S. Ct. 1338, cited by the State, is inapposite. In Solem the court determined that the per se rule of Edwards v. Arizona (1981), 451 U.S. 477, 68 L. Ed. 2d 378, 101 S. Ct. 1880, did not apply to cases on collateral review. Unlike Greenfield, Edwards merely adopts a prophylactic rule to prevent certain Miranda violations; \u201cEdwards did not confer a substantive constitutional right.\u201d (Solem v. Stumes (1984), 465 U.S. 638, 644 n.4, 79 L. Ed. 2d 579, 588 n.4, 104 S. Ct. 1338, 1342 n.4.) But Greenfield applies a recognized substantive right which shows that the defendant in this case did not receive the fair trial to which he was entitled. Since Greenfield simply applies \u201csettled precedents to new and different fact situations,\u201d there is no question but that it governs this case. United States v. Johnson (1982), 457 U.S. 537, 549, 73 L. Ed. 2d 202, 213, 102 S. Ct. 2579, 2586; see Shea v. Louisiana (1985), 470 U.S. 51, 84 L. Ed. 2d 38, 105 S. Ct. 1065 (reasoning of Johnson applies to fifth amendment cases, so Edwards v. Arizona retroactively governs cases on direct review).\nPrior to the court\u2019s decision in Greenfield, the State had not argued for reversal of the appellate court\u2019s decision on the ground that it was an erroneous application of retroactive law; indeed, the State could not have argued retroactivity since the case was before the appellate court on direct appeal. The common law rule for both civil and criminal cases requires legal rulings to \u201cbe given effect while a case is on direct review\u201d (Linkletter v. Walker (1965), 381 U.S. 618, 627, 14 L. Ed. 2d 601, 607, 85 S. Ct. 1731, 1736). Now that the supreme arbiter of Federal constitutional law (see Atkins v. Atkins (1944), 386 Ill. 345, 347) has agreed with the conclusion reached by our appellate court in this case, the State asks this court to reverse the appellate court\u2019s decision, not despite the Supreme Court\u2019s endorsement, but because of that endorsement. There is no logic in the State\u2019s position that an appellate court opinion we know to be correct as a matter of law, and which we would otherwise affirm, must now be reversed because, during the pendency of this appeal, the United States Supreme Court has agreed with a legal doctrine announced by our appellate court. Wainwright v. Greenfield (1986), 474 U.S. 284, 295 n.14, 88 L. Ed. 2d 623, 632-34 n.14, 106 S. Ct. 634, 641-42 n.14.\nThe State argues that introduction of the defendant\u2019s response is proper to show that, contrary to evidence of defendant\u2019s bizarre behavior on the afternoon in question, he was lucid and in touch with reality within moments after displaying such behavior. Hoping to distinguish Greenfield, the State claims that the defendant\u2019s decision to invoke his Miranda rights \u201cwas not of particular interest,\u201d and that the State must be allowed to admit the statement because the defendant \u201cprovided no other conversational evidence of contact with reality.\u201d\nWe are unfamiliar with any rule of constitutional law allowing the State to deprive an individual of his fundamental rights because the State cannot otherwise obtain a conviction. Such a precedent would raze the foundation of American criminal procedure, and we reject the State\u2019s argument because it totally fails to distinguish Greenfield on any persuasive basis. Additionally, we question the probative value of this evidence. \u201cInsanity is not the equivalent of stupidity.\u201d (Commonwealth v. Mahdi (1983), 388 Mass. 679, 695, 448 N.E.2d 704, 713; see M. Bleuher The Schizophrenic Disorders 496 (1978).) But Greenfield is dispositive in this case, so we need not address the ambiguity inherent in a defendant\u2019s exercise of his Miranda rights. We agree with the appellate court on this issue and conclude that the defendant is entitled to a new trial.\nThe appellate court also reversed the circuit court on the ground that the trial judge erred in refusing to ask the members of the venire, as requested by the defendant, whether they could return a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity provided the evidence established that the defendant was insane at the time he killed his wife and son. Although we have already determined that the violation of defendant\u2019s fifth amendment rights requires a new trial, we consider this issue argued by the State in its appeal as it may arise again at a second trial. The State argues that the trial court properly refused to tender defendant\u2019s voir dire questions regarding the insanity defense. Four such questions were submitted by defense counsel:\n\u201c1. Have you or anyone close to you had any experience with a psychiatrist or psychologist?\n2. Do you agree with the concept that a person should not be held responsible for his acts if he is not capable of conforming his conduct to the requirements of the law?\n3. Can you find someone not guilty by reason of insanity?\n4. Do you have any feeling or viewpoint concerning the defense of insanity in a criminal case? If so, what?\u201d\nOnly the first question was propounded by the judge because, he said, the others were argumentative and presupposed knowledge of how the insanity defense is legally defined in Illinois.\nIn reversing the circuit court, the appellate court held that refusal to ask defendant\u2019s tendered insanity questions constituted an abuse of discretion. The State argues in this court that refusal to ask the last three questions was properly within the trial court\u2019s discretion. We agree that the second and third questions are vague and improperly phrased and their rejection can be upheld for that reason. The fourth question was proper, however, and should have been put to the prospective jurors.\nThe State contends, on the basis of Supreme Court Rules 431 and 234 (87 Ill. 2d R. 431; 94 Ill. 2d R. 234), that the appellate court reached the wrong result with respect to all three questions. It argues that those rules prohibit inquiry into matters of law during voir dire. Rule 234, made applicable to criminal cases by Rule 431, provides in part: \u201cQuestions shall not directly or indirectly concern matters of law or instructions.\u201d\nRule 234 was promulgated to shorten voir dire by eliminating that portion of the process which did not advance the legitimate ends of impaneling an impartial jury. The rule is aimed at this specific evil since \u201cno reason is perceived for questioning [prospective jurors] as to legal principles or concepts beyond ascertaining whether or not they are willing to accept and follow the instructions concerning the law of the case.\u201d (Emphasis added.) (People v. Lobb (1959), 17 Ill. 2d 287, 302.) The fourth question does not violate Rule 234 because it seeks to determine only whether the prospective juror would be biased against an insanity defense. Since the question does not attempt to state the law but merely probes for bias, it cannot be faulted for containing argumentative and misleading statements of law, the abusive practice put to rest by the rule.\nThe State argues that the question is deficient in failing to set forth the precise legal test of insanity concerning which prospective jurors could express a viewpoint, but setting forth the law during voir dire is exactly the practice proscribed. The State also argues that jurors would not be able to answer intelligently any of the questions rejected by the trial judge because they would not know the law of insanity until instructed at the close of trial. That proposition proves too much: the State does not contend that it is improper to ask the venire members whether they will follow the law as instructed (indeed, the State says such examination is appropriate) even though they have not at the time of voir dire been instructed on any law whatsoever.\nIn People v. Wright (1985), 111 Ill. 2d 128, prospective jurors were asked whether they could impose the death penalty in an appropriate capital case. A majority of this court found such voir dire unexceptionable under Rule 234, saying that \u201cthe State, in its attempt to discern the potential jurors\u2019 attitudes to the death penalty inquired if they would be able to impose the death penalty if such a sentence was supported by the law and facts. We find such questioning appropriate ***.\u201d (111 Ill. 2d 128, 158-59.) Similarly, attorneys have been allowed in dramshop actions to ask prospective jurors whether they disagreed with the dramshop statute. (Schneider v. Kirk (1967), 83 Ill. App. 2d 170.) The thread which runs through those cases is that the jury was going to be asked to apply an extraordinarily controversial legal requirement against which many members of the community may have been prejudiced. Inquiry into the feeling or viewpoint of the venire regarding such controversial legal propositions is consistent with a bona fide examination conducted so that the parties can intelligently exercise their prerogatives to challenge. Furthermore, a defendant's sixth and fourteenth amendment rights to an impartial jury (U.S. Const., amends. VI, XIV) are diminished when jurors are prejudiced against an appropriate verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.\nThe State argues that the trial judge\u2019s refusal to pose the fourth question was not erroneous because sufficient inquiry was made of the venire\u2019s willingness to apply the law as instructed by him, and the defendant was entitled to no more. Even if voir dire had explored that question, an assertion which the record belies, we would still find an abuse of discretion. Although the insanity defense upon which the defendant relied is a well-recognized legal defense, it remains a subject of intense controversy. In People v. Bowel (1986), 111 Ill. 2d 58, 65, we described insanity as \u201ca defense which is known to be subject to bias or prejudice.\u201d A defendant\u2019s right to an impartial jury is not, therefore, protected where the sole inquiry into whether jurors will abide by the law allowing that controversial defense is the far broader and all-embracing question which the State contends was propounded in this case, namely, whether the jurors would follow the court\u2019s instructions on the law.\nJust as the State is allowed to probe the venire for jurors who would not follow the law of capital punishment, the defendant should be allowed to identify and challenge those prospective jurors who would refuse to follow the statutory law of the insanity defense. As noted by the appellate court, \u201cparties have the right to have jurors examined concerning their attitudes toward the insanity defense when such is involved in a case.\u201d People v. Robinson (1981), 102 Ill. App. 3d 884, 891; People v. Witted (1979), 79 Ill. App. 3d 156; see United States v. Allsup (9th Cir. 1977), 566 F.2d 68; Washington v. State (Fla. App. 1979), 371 So. 2d 1108; State v. Olson (1971), 156 Mont. 338, 480 P.2d 822; State v. Sanders (1978), 161 W. Va. 399, 242 S.E.2d 554.\nThe appellate court found additional errors committed at trial and reversed defendant\u2019s conviction on those grounds as well. Since the State has raised only two issues on appeal to this court, we need not consider the others; the appellate court rulings on those other matters remain the law of the case. Having affirmed the appellate court decision in part on the matters appealed by the State, we remand this cause to the circuit court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.\nAffirmed in part and remanded.", "type": "majority", "author": "JUSTICE SIMON" } ], "attorneys": [ "Neil F.
