Anderson and a female companion, Engstrom, broke into a house at night occupied by Raymond Ward and his girlfriend, N.B. At gunpoint, Anderson forced Ward and N.B. into a bedroom, ordered N.B. to lie on the floor, placed the gun against Ward's head, and demanded money. When Ward hesitated, Anderson shot him in the neck. Ward then surrendered all of his available money (some $ 140 in cash). When police were called, N.B. described the robber as a black man with a shaved head, and although she observed the robber face to face, she did not indicate how well and for how long. N.B. did not provide additional details of the male robber's description, although she provided details concerning his female accomplice. N.B. hid in the corner of the bedroom until the assailant left the house. Anderson and Engstrom were arrested after a police chase. The police brought N.B. to the scene of the traffic stop to see if she could identify them. During the show-up N.B. was not able to get a good view of Anderson's facial features because he would not stand up straight. He insisted on bending over from the waist, so that his face was pointed toward the ground. Anderson, a black male, was in handcuffs, flanked by two uniformed police officers. Despite Anderson's posture, N.B. positively identified him as the male robber because of his shaved head and clothing. What will be an ideal response?
