Suspect ID's (Lineup, Show up)
This lecture covers two separate but critical topics. The first is eyewitness identification and the other is entrapment. Mistaken eyewitness identification is the leading cause of wrongful convictions, and this course will address topics such as Due Process and the Right To Counsel. Entrapment is concerned with excessive police action that can oppress individuals, and it is concerned with fairness in the criminal justice system. As such, we will address topics such as the original, objective and subjective tests of entrapment, and proof of disposition.
