How reliable are people in terms of identifying suspects in lineups, showups, and photo arrays? How would you feel going on trial on the basis of a single eyewitness who is a stranger to you with your liberty or life on the line?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Match the term with the correct definition with regards to identification procedures.
 
  Column 1:
  showup
  lineup
  photographic array
  a witness identifies the perpetrator in court
  in-court showup
  Column 1: suggestive lineup
  Fourth Amendment
  double-blind lineup
 
  Column 2:
  a flowed lineup that almost ensures that the victim or witness will identify the suspect
  an identification procedure in which the suspect is brought before the witness (or victim) alone, so the witness can be asked whether that person is the perpetrator
  a lineup procedure in which neither the witness nor the investigator staging the lineup knows who the suspect is
  an identification procedure in which the suspect is placed alongside several other people who resemble him or her
  procedure in which several photographs, including one of the suspect, are shown to a witness or victim, and he or she is asked to pick out the perpetrator
 
  protects from an unlawful search or seizure conducted for the purpose of securing an identification
