What are some procedures the U.S. Department of Justice recommends for insuring the fairness of photo lineups used in eyewitness identification?
What will be an ideal response?
* Include only one suspect per identification procedure.
* Select fillers who generally fit the witness description of the perpetrator.
* Include a minimum of five fillers (nonsuspects) per identification procedure.
* Avoid fillers who so closely resemble the suspect that a person familiar with the suspect might have difficulty distinguishing the suspect from the fillers.
* Create a consistent appearance between the suspect and fillers with respect to unique and unusual features.
* Place suspects in different positions or randomly in the lineup.
* When showing a new suspect, do not reuse fillers in lineups shown to the same witness.
* View the spread to make sure the suspect does not stand out.
* Preserve the presentation order of the photo lineup.
