horse wrangler who came to
Hollywood as a stunt man, was
voted best supporting actor.
Accepting the award, he
cracked: “This couldn’t
have happpened to a nicer
fella.”
Cloris Leachman, who once
played the mother on the
Fingering the Criminal
Harriet, victim of a mugging,
was summoned to police head
quarters to view a lineup. One
of the men looked vaguely fa
miliar, but she felt too doubtful
to pick him out.
tl@.y
A week later, she was called
to a second lineup. All the men
were different except one—the
same one who had seemed fa
miliar the first time. With her
confidence bolstered, Harriet
pointed an accusing finger at him
and said:
“He’s the man.”
But at the trial, her identifica
tion was ruled out of court. The
judge said placing the man into
both lineups was an unfair way
of singling him out and making
him look guilty.
Witnesses to a crime are often
asked to select the culprit out of
a police lineup. As a means of
identification, the linetfp—usually
consisting of prisoners or plain
clothes policemen — is widely
approved.
However, to be constitutional,
the procedure must be carried
out with basic fairness. Police
must not “stack” the lineup so
as to draw special attention to
the man they suspect.
On the other hand, the par
ticipants need not be perfect
look-alikes.
In another case, the suspect
was the only one in the lineup
wearing a black jacket. Admit
tedly, this made him conspicuous
to some degree. But a court up
held the procedure anyhow, since
the jacket happened to be the
man’s regular attire.
Furthermore, even if the sus
pect is conspicuous in one re
spect, the witness may have other
legitimate reasons for making
the identification. For example:
A burglary suspect was placed
in a lineup while wearing dis
tinctive clothing. But the witness
who picked him out did not rely
just on his apparel. He said he
recognized the man mainly .by
his height, his weight, his voice,
and his posture.
The court decided that, with
so much to support it, the identi
fication by the witness was in
deed worthy of the jury’s con
