	Right to silence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The intermingling of the investigative and judicial roles was not formally divided until 1848, when the interrogation of suspects was made solely a police matter, with the establishment of the modern police forces.
		The right to silence during actual trial was well established in common law, the defendant was "incompetent" to give evidence and attempts to force answers, such as the efforts of the Star Chamber were judged unlawful - although often later than some individuals may have hoped.
		In common law procedural systems the defendant has a right to silence, but if he waives that right to silence he is subject to cross-examination by a professional advocate whose goal it is to present the defendant's statements in the worst possible light.

	Review: The Silence of the Lambs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although The Silence of the Lambs is brilliantly constructed and powerfully acted, and became one of the most recognizable thrillers of the '90s, it was neither the best movie of the year (a citation I would award to Beauty and the Beast) nor even the best thriller (overall, Dead Again impressed me more).
		The Silence of the Lambs opens by introducing us to FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), a brilliant student who has been selected by Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn), the head of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, to help in the pursuit of a serial killer called Buffalo Bill, who skins his victims after murdering them.
		The Silence of the Lambs may not have been the best thriller of the year, but it was the most chilling and creepy, and there's no denying that the most celebrated aspect of the film - the Clarice/Hannibal connection - could not have been accomplished with greater skill.

		When the group was asked simple questions concerning the relative lengths of the lines (for example, "Which of these lines is longest?"), the individual under study was faced with having a majority of people blatantly contradict what his own senses were telling him to be true.
		The result of this conflict was that, as the spiral of silence theory would predict, nearly one third of all the individuals gave "wrong" answers that matched what everyone else in the group was responding.
		Additionally, the very fact that the questions that were asked were about non earth shattering things, like the length of lines, makes me wonder how people will respond when the questions and answers are more important.
