Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The failure of a defendant's lawyer to object to questionable procedures at the time of the lineup does not necessarily mean the defendant loses the right to challenge the accuracy or fairness of the lineup at trial. Defendants can still argue that the lineup was conducted in a way that was suggestive or unfair, and courts can consider these arguments even if an objection was not made at the time of the lineup.
