Article 162
De l'interrogatoire des prévenus
Titre II:
De la procédure criminelle
(On Criminal Procedure)
Chapitre IV:
De l'interrogatoire des prévenus
(On the Interrogation of the Accused)
Si, ayant commencé à répondre, il cesse de le faire, le juge continuera la procédure, comme il est prescrit ci-dessus, article 160.
Life lesson:
If the accused starts answering and then goes silent, the same three-warning voluntary-mute procedure kicks in again.
Notes:
Mid-interrogation silence: Art. 160 muet volontaire procedure applies. No benefit from partial cooperation followed by silence. Consistent treatment of willful non-response regardless of timing. Cross-reference to Art. 160 three-interpellation protocol.
