Jack was on trial for the murder of Kim's husband. Kim, who was present when her husband was shot, testified at the trial: Prosecutor: Were you present when your husband was shot? Kim: Yes, I was about three feet from him. I'll never forget it. Prosecutor: Do you think you can identify the person who shot your husband? Kim: Yes, he's sitting over there, at the table with the sign that says Defense. Prosecutor: Are you positive? Now I know you picked him out of a lineup, but the judge has ruled that the lineup was not conducted properly. So I just want to make sure you are not thinking about the lineup. Kim: Oh, I know it's him. At the lineup I looked at his face and I was sure he was the man I saw shoot my husband. But I just noticed that tattoo on his neck. I've never seen a tattoo like that except the one on the man who was shooting my husband. So I'm sure it was him. Did Kim's testimony violate Jack's rights?
