Estelle v. Smith 451 U.S. 454 (1981)
ESTELLE v. SMITH 451 U.S. 454 (1981)
A unanimous Supreme Court held that the protection of the miranda rules applied to every phase of an in-custody prosecution, and that a psychiatrist's testimony introduced at the penalty phase of a capital trial violated the right against self-incrimination. At the pretrial interview on which the testimony was based, the defendant had not received the appropriate warnings about his right to silence.
