## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding, in a post-conviction relief matter, that Brown failed to meet his burden of proving the solicitor committed a Doyle violation and that trial counsel erred in failing to object when there was "no evidence in the record that Brown ever received the Miranda warnings"
- stating "[t]his court gives great deference to the post- conviction relief (PCR) court's findings of fact and conclusions of law"
- holding PCR applicant failed to prove Doyle violation where no evidence showed he had been given Miranda warnings

## Opinion text

HEARN, C.J.,
concurring in a separate opinion:
I concur in the result reached by the majority, but would simply dismiss the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted.
