A bookie testified before a grand jury regarding allegedly illegal gambling activities. As a result, the bookie was indicted and a warrant was issued for the bookie’s arrest, along with a search warrant for the bookie’s home. The police went to the bookie’s home, informed him of the charges against him, and placed him in handcuffs. The officers then conducted a search of the bookie’s home and found a desk calendar, which had possibly incriminating information written on it relating to appointments. They seized the desk calendar and one of the officers asked the bookie what he had to say about their find. The bookie made an incriminating statement in response. Before trial, the prosecutor obtained an exemplar of the bookie’s handwriting to compare it with the handwriting on the calendar. If introduced at trial, which of the following would most clearly violate the bookie’s Fifth Amendment self-incrimination rights?
