Publisher: Christian Science Monitor, 2004ISSN: 1522-3256;.Subject(s): Criminal procedure | Criminals -- Identification | Eyewitness identification | Police lineupsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Defense attorneys have doubted eyewitness testimony throughout the annals of crime, and often with good reason: People don't always accurately recall what they see, even when the stakes are huge. Consider the playgoers who sat helplessly as Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Some swore the assassin they watched escape across the stage couldn't possibly have been a man they knew well--acclaimed actor John Wilkes Booth. Despite eternal questions about the reliability of memory, criminal lineups remain a mainstay of American justice: Witnesses peer at a handful of potential suspects--sometimes in photographs, sometimes in person--and try to pick out the culprit." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article profiles sequential lineups, a new approach to the traditional police lineup "in which witnesses view each person one by one instead of with five others."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
