Why is it that a lineup should consist of several individuals while a showup consisting of one suspect can be considered constitutional?
What will be an ideal response?
Good answers should explain the due process and Sixth Amendment requirements of lineups and the ways to reduce suggestibility in them. Students should then explain that even though lineups are better at avoiding false identifications, showups are permissible in limited circumstances immediately following a crime and a need or desire to have an immediate identification (or exoneration).
