Re: Identification factors
It is not like baking a cake. The law is what you see in it. There are as many factors as relate to whether an identification is flawed by
overly suggestive influences.
The real problem is that eye witness identifications are highly subject to error. For example a person walking up the street bumps into a stranger and turns with great annoyance and looks at the stranger fully in the face then encounters another person a short distance up the street who robs him at gun point will probably put the face of the first person on the body of the second person because he focused almost entirely on the threatening gun pointed at him.
Call me if you like.

Re: Identification factors
Why does this sounds like homework? How would you know there are 5 factors but not know what they are?
