Question 2

Accepted Answer

In a lineup, a victim or a witness to a crime is shown several possible suspects alongside each other or in sequence, allowing for a direct comparison to identify the perpetrator. This process is commonly used at police stations or in legal settings to confirm the identity of a suspect.

Question 3

In a ________, the police show photographs of possible suspects to the victim or witnesses.&#10;A) Showup&#10;B) Lineup&#10;C) Photographic identification&#10;D) Person exposure

Accepted Answer

In a photographic identification, the police present photographs of potential suspects to the victim or witnesses for the purpose of identifying the perpetrator. This differs from a lineup, where suspects are physically presented, or a showup, which involves presenting a single suspect for identification.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

A showup involves presenting a single suspect to a witness or victim for identification, often at the crime scene and shortly after the suspect's arrest, distinguishing it from lineups or photo identifications that involve multiple individuals.

Question 5

In ________, the Supreme Court ruled that an accused that has been formally charged with a crime has the right to have a lawyer present during a police lineup.&#10;A) United States v. Weeks&#10;B) United States v. Wade&#10;C) United States v. Crews&#10;D) Whren v. United States

Accepted Answer

A police lineup after the accused has been formally charged is considered a critical stage of the proceedings, requiring the presence of counsel to protect the accused's Sixth Amendment rights.

Question 7

Lineups that practically identify the suspect for the witness violate a suspect's constitutional right ________.&#10;A) To due process&#10;B) To counsel&#10;C) Against unreasonable searches and seizures&#10;D) Against self-incrimination

Accepted Answer

Lineups that practically identify the suspect for the witness violate a suspect's constitutional right to due process. This is because such lineups can be unfairly suggestive and compromise the fairness of the legal process.

Question 8

Which of the following factors is not used to test the reliability of a suspect's identification?&#10;A) The opportunity of the witness to view the criminal at the time of the crime&#10;B) The witness' degree of attention and the accuracy of any prior description of the suspect&#10;C) The amount of evidence obtained by the police&#10;D) The length of time between the crime and the identification procedure

Accepted Answer

The amount of evidence obtained by the police is not a factor used to test the reliability of a suspect's identification. The reliability test focuses on the witness's opportunity to view, their attention and accuracy in description, and the time between the crime and identification, not the quantity of evidence collected.

The doctrine of "independent untainted source" allows the use of evidence if it is obtained from a source that is independent of the illegal search, meaning it is not connected to the illegality.
