According to the U.S. Department of Justice report released in 1999 ("Eyewitness Evidence: A Guide for Law Enforcement"), what is the best way to use and present fillers in a lineup?
What will be an ideal response?
Lineups should contain a minimum of five fillers (non-suspects) who generally fit the witness's description of the perpetrator. Avoid using fillers who so closely resemble the suspect that a person familiar with the suspect would have trouble distinguishing the filler from the suspect. The suspect should be in different positions in each lineup, both across cases and with multiple witnesses in the same case. Position the suspect randomly in the lineup. If a new suspect is shown, avoid reusing the same fillers in lineups shown to the same witness.
