Supreme Court Says Suspects Must Disclose Intent to Remain Silent

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Criminal defendants won't get the benefit of the Miranda rule against self-incrimination unless they specifically invoke it, the Supreme Court said Tuesday.

The court also ruled unanimously in a separate case that torture victims can pursue their lawsuit against a former Somali prime minister, holding that he wasn't covered by a 1976 law exempting foreign governments from being sued.
