USA v. Michael Waller
Error in jury instruction on Intent which said that jury should consider anything the deft said or didn't say, as this implicates post-Miranda silence. Vacate and remand, as gov't must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the error was harmless, and ain't no way that's gonna happen.
