Example wrong choices
16012_stolen-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice Asustain the objection, because Stephen's refusal to take part in the lineup was overcome by force or the threat of force.
Why it's attractive
being compelled to appear is not an exclusion ground (lineup is non-testimonial); the 'must resist or waive' premise is not the law
Why it's wrong
being compelled to appear is not an exclusion ground (lineup is non-testimonial); the 'must resist or waive' premise is not the law
16012_stolen-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice Boverrule the objection, because five other men stood in the lineup, all of approximately the same height, build, and complexion as Stephen.
Why it's attractive
lineup fairness goes to suggestiveness; it cannot cure a denial of counsel and answers the wrong question
Why it's wrong
lineup fairness goes to suggestiveness; it cannot cure a denial of counsel and answers the wrong question
16012_stolen-flock · CRIMINAL · Choice Coverrule the objection, because any taint connected with the lineup procedure has been purged by Hannah's subsequent re-identification of Stephen in the courtroom.
Why it's attractive
the in-court identification rests only on the lineup pick (a repetition), so the taint is not purged
Why it's wrong
the in-court identification rests only on the lineup pick (a repetition), so the taint is not purged
