View this case - free  

Overview: In hearing that defendant had initially refused to recite the alphabet as requested by the arresting officer, the jury could have drawn a negative inference, making it the equivalent of a statement that defendant had so much to drink that he knew he was unable to pass the test. This made it equivalent to improper compelled self-incrimination.
