The U.S. Supreme Court has applied different rules for lineups before and after indictment and for photographic lineups. What are these rules? What are some of the legal arguments against some of these holdings, especially those where the right to counsel does not attach. Do you believe these criticisms to be valid? Why or why not?

Supreme Court recognized in Wade and Gilbert that a lineup or showup is a critical stage because individuals who are unrepresented are at risk of being falsely identified.
