Background

Key Cases

  • United States
    • Neil v. Biggers, 409 U. S. 188 (1972) - In Neil v. Biggers, the US Supreme Court provided the defendant with a mechanism to challenge a pre-trial identification by requesting a hearing on the validity of the identification.

The two-pronged test asks:

  • 1) whether the identification procedure was suggestive, and
  • 2) if it was suggestive, whether there were indicia of reliability such that the witness's testimony should still be admissible even if the procedure was suggestive.
