Explain how the exclusionary rule is applied differently to identifications than other types of evidence and the relevant cases on the issue. Should there be a difference? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


Good answers should discuss the pretrial identification techniques of lineups, showups, and photographic and the issues related to each. The focus here is really on steps that increase reliability and whether they were followed. Finally, students could talk about how pretrial identifications are used at trial and the suggestibility of the defendant being the suspect in light of his or her presence in court.
