    II.    Whether the prosecutor committed fundamental error at trial by referring to Wilson's invocation of his right to remain silent after he had received Miranda warnings.

    We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with instructions.

    On November 8, 1996, this court reversed Wilson's Burglary conviction, but we affirmed his Theft conviction. On November 15, 1996, the trial court entered a restitution order with respect to Wilson's Theft conviction. Wilson contends the trial court lacked authority to enter this order.
    "After a final judgment a court retains only such continuing jurisdiction as is permitted by the judgment itself, or as is given the court by statute or rule." Marts v. State, 478 N.E.2d 63, 65 (Ind. 1985) (quoting State ex rel. Kelley v. Marion Crim. Ct., 269 Ind. 46, 378 N.E.2d 833, 834 (1978)). A trial court does not have the inherent power to modify a sentence. Beanblossom v. State, 637 N.E.2d 1345, 1348 (Ind. Ct. App. 1994), trans. denied. The requirement that a defendant pay restitution is as much a part of a criminal sentence as a fine or any other penalty. Kotsopoulos v. State, 654 N.E.2d 44, 46 (Ind. Ct. App. 1995), trans. denied.
    Here, the trial court entered a final judgment with respect to Wilson's Theft conviction on August 14, 1995 when it sentenced Wilson to three years, executed. The trial court's sentencing order did not purport to retain any continuing jurisdiction over Wilson. Further, as we find no statutory provision which would give the trial court jurisdiction to enhance Wilson's sentence by entering a restitution order after a sentence has already been pronounced, we hold that the trial court lacked authority to enter such an order.
    The State contends that the restitution order was proper because sentencing lies within the sound discretion of the trial court and because I ND . C ODE § 35-50-5-3 (Supp. 1995) allows a trial court to order a person convicted of a felony to make restitution to his victims. We

agree that the trial court could have entered such an order when it originally sentenced Wilson for his Theft conviction on July 19, 1995. However, it failed to do so at that time, and the trial court has since lost its authority to modify Wilson's sentence.
    The State also argues that the restitution order should be upheld because the facts in this case are analogous to those in Greer v. State, 680 N.E.2d 526 (Ind. 1997). In Greer, our supreme court held that a trial court could move a habitual offender enhancement from one felony conviction to another where the original conviction to which it was attached was subsequently vacated.See footnote 1 The court reasoned that "the process for charging and determining a habitual offender status following a trial resulting in multiple felony convictions is independent of each particular felony conviction and applies equally to all such convictions." Id. at 527.
    The same line of reasoning used in Greer cannot be applied to the facts of the present case. A habitual offender finding is a jury's determination that, following a defendant's conviction for one or more felonies, the defendant has also accumulated two prior unrelated felonies. Id. Where a defendant is convicted of simultaneous multiple felonies and a habitual offender finding has been made, trial courts must impose the sentence enhancement upon only one of the convictions and must specify the conviction to be so enhanced. Id.

Thus, the particular felony conviction to which the habitual offender enhancement is attached is not relevant.
    Choosing a crime on which to enter a restitution order differs from choosing a felony to enhance through a habitual offender determination. A restitution order is entered with respect to a particular conviction in order to "impress upon a criminal defendant the magnitude of the loss he has caused" as a result of his crime and "his responsibility to make good that loss as completely as possible." Kotsopoulos, 654 N.E.2d at 46. Thus, there is a close correlation between a restitution order and the underlying crime to which it is attached. This is unlike the habitual offender enhancement which may be attached to any felony conviction where there have been multiple simultaneous felony convictions.
    Given the difference between a restitution order and a habitual offender enhancement, we decline to interpret Greer in a manner which would allow a restitution order to be moved from one felony to another after the felony to which the order was originally attached is vacated. In the present case, if the trial court had determined that a restitution order could be attached to Wilson's Theft conviction as well as his Burglary conviction, it should have entered the order at the same time it entered its original sentence. The trial court failed to do so, and it lacked the authority to enter such an order after Wilson's Burglary conviction was vacated.

    Q:    Okay. What else did you do?

    A:    At a later, at a later point in time I did locate Mr. Wilson and did attempt an interview on Mr. Wilson.

    Q:    And, and did you read Mr. Wilson his Miranda rights before you talked to him?

    A:    Yes, sir, I did.

    Q:    And did he agree to talk to you?

    A:    Yes, sir, he did.

    Q:    And what did he say, what did you say to him and what did he say to you?

    A:    I told him that I was there investigating a theft of some coins from a                                      residence here in town. He stated he knew nothing about it. I went on to                                 tell him it was the coins that were recovered at Butler P.D. that he is stating were his. Mr. Wilson said he had nothing to tell me at that time, he knew nothing what I was talking about. At that time the interview was concluded.

Record at 354-55. Detective Bundy's subsequent testimony during cross-examination and redirect focused on the fact that Wilson said nothing to the police about the alleged crime other than his statement that he knew nothing about it. One of the purposes of Detective Bundy's testimony was to cast doubt on Wilson's earlier statements to others wherein he claimed that he had obtained the victims' coins legitimately.
    Wilson argues that his statement that he knew nothing about the stolen coins was simply an extension of his statement that he did not have anything to say to the police. As such, he argues, it amounted to an assertion of his right to remain silent. He contends that it was improper for the prosecution to use his denial of knowledge because Doyle protections extend to "what a defendant says" in exercising his right to remain silent. In support of this proposition, Wilson relies on Lynch v. State, 632 N.E.2d 341 (Ind. 1994), and Wilson v. State, 514 N.E.2d 282 (Ind. 1987).
    Both Lynch and Wilson applied Doyle to cases where the State attempted to use a defendant's exercise of his Miranda rights as evidence that the defendant was not insane at the time of his crime. In Wilson, the Indiana Supreme Court rejected this practice, holding that the State could not use a criminal defendant's statements exercising his right not to

answer police questions to rebut the defendant's insanity defense. 514 N.E.2d at 284 (following Wainwright v. Greenfield, 474 U.S. 284, 106 S.Ct. 634, 88 L.Ed.2d 623 (1986)). In Lynch, our supreme court reaffirmed that the State may not use "what the defendant says" about his Miranda rights to rebut an insanity defense. 632 N.E.2d at 343. Thus, Wilson's suggestion that Lynch and Wilson hold that Doyle protections extend to "what the defendant said" in exercising Miranda rights is correct under the circumstances of those cases. However, the facts of Wilson's case differ significantly from those in Lynch and Wilson.     The primary justification for Doyle is that it is fundamentally unfair to use a defendant's silence after receiving Miranda warnings given that the warnings carry an implicit assurance that a person will not be penalized for exercising those rights. Lynch, 632 N.E.2d at 342 (citing Doyle, 426 U.S. at 618). In Lynch and Wilson, it was fundamentally unfair for the State to use the defendants' statements, made while exercising their Miranda rights, to rebut their insanity defense because to do so would place the defendants in the untenable position of either exercising their rights, and thereby appearing sane, or not exercising their rights and risking the dangers associated with that decision. Here, Wilson was not placed in this perilous position.
    Wilson made a statement that he knew nothing about the stolen coins. Unlike the statements made by the defendants in Wilson and Lynch, Wilson's statement was not an attempt to invoke his Miranda rights. Rather, Wilson stated that he knew nothing about the crime, not to exercise his rights, but to exculpate himself from the crime. Just because Wilson denied knowledge of the crime shortly before asserting his Miranda rights does not

make it fundamentally unfair for the State to use this self-serving statement to impeach his earlier statements that he had obtained the coins legitimately.
    Wilson also cites a footnote in Anderson v. Charles, 447 U.S. 404, 100 S.Ct. 2180, 65 L.Ed.2d 222 (1980), to support his proposition that Doyle protections extend to "what the defendant said" in exercising his Miranda rights. The footnote in Anderson commented on Doyle and reads:
    One [of the two defendants in Doyle] said nothing at all. The other asked arresting officers, "[W]hat's this all about?" When told the reason for his arrest, he exclaimed "you got to be crazy," or "I don't know what you are talking about." Both the Court and the dissent in Doyle analyzed the due process question as if both defendants had remained silent.

Anderson, 447 U.S. at 407, n.2 (citations omitted). The Doyle case involved two defendants who testified at trial that they had been framed. 426 U.S. at 613. Ohio prosecutors tried to disprove this theory by eliciting testimony that the defendants failed to raise their frame-up theory with police investigators who questioned them following their arrest. Id. at 613-14. The Supreme Court held that it violated the Due Process Clause to penalize the defendants for exercising their Miranda rights by remaining silent at the time they were arrested. Id. at 619.
    As discussed above, we agree that Doyle protections extend to the statements a criminal defendant makes in exercising his Miranda rights. However, we do not agree that the United States Supreme Court footnote cited by Wilson supports his contention that the State may not use his statement that he knew nothing about the stolen coins to impeach him.

    The footnote and Doyle itself address a problem different from Wilson's. Although the second defendant in Doyle made comments similar to Wilson's, Ohio was not attempting to use these post-Miranda statements to impeach the Doyle defendant. Ohio was attempting to use the defendant's post-Miranda silence -- his failure to tell the police that he was being framed -- to impeach him. Thus, the Supreme Court in Doyle ignored the comments made by the defendant for purposes of analyzing the due process question before it. Anderson, 447 U.S. at 407, n.2.
    In the present case, the State was not attempting to impeach Wilson based upon his post-Miranda silence. Instead, it was attempting to impeach him based upon his post-Miranda decision to speak for the purpose of exculpating himself. Doyle does not protect such statements. Accordingly, we hold that the State's use of Wilson's statement that he knew nothing about the stolen coins, for the purpose of impeaching his earlier statements that he had obtained the coins legitimately, did not violate Wilson's due process rights.
    Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions for the trial court to vacate its November 15, 1996 restitution order.

GARRARD, Judge, dissenting in part

    While I concur in part II of the majority opinion, I respectfully dissent to the decision that the trial court could not transfer its restitution order from the burglary conviction which we vacated to the theft conviction which we affirmed. In its original sentencing order the court placed Wilson on probation for seven years of his fifteen year sentence for burglary. As a condition of that probation the court ordered Wilson to pay restitution to the victims. When we vacated the burglary conviction, the court shifted the order for restitution to the remaining theft conviction. While I agree that Greer v. State, 680 N.E.2d 526 (Ind. 1997) is not controlling, I find the situation here sufficiently similar to analogize it to that in Greer.

Since the court originally ordered restitution as a condition of probation, I would find that it had the authority to transfer the restitution order to a different conviction in the same proceeding where, on appeal, we reversed the conviction to which the restitution order was originally attached.
