How could not answering interrogation questions, even selectively, especially before the defendant having been read his Miranda rights, allow the prosecutor to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and secure a conviction (in a criminal case)?

The presumption of innocence is integral to United States criminal law.

Quote:

Fifth Admendment: [n]or shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself ...

Seems pretty clear, I agree with the dissent ...
