Explain how due process applies in the identification context
What will be an ideal response?
The Supreme Court has also clearly stated that the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause also applies to identification procedures. In Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293 (1967), the Court held that the accused is entitled to protection against procedures "so unnecessarily suggestive and conducive to irreparable mistaken identification" as to amount to a due process violation. In general, for an identification procedure to satisfy the due process clause, it must be (1) reliable and (2) minimally suggestive.
