Answer to Question 1

Lineups
Suspects may be forced to participate in lineups because lineups exhibit physical characteristics, not testimonial evidence. Suspects placed in lineups may also be required to supply voice exemplars, but solely for identification purposes, not as a confession. If a suspect refuses to participate in a lineup, he or she can be cited with contempt and the prosecutor may comment at trial about the suspect's refusal to cooperate.

Show-ups
A show-up is a one-on-one confrontation between the victim and the offender, usually conducted outside the courtroom setting. Specifically, a show-up is usually held when the suspect has been apprehended shortly after having committed the crime and the witness is still at or near the scene of the crime. A lineup is always preferable to a show-up because a lineup includes several potential suspects, and a show-up is usually unnecessarily suggestive.

Photographic Identifications
In Simmons v. United States, 390 U.S. 377 (1968), the Supreme Court shed some light on the importance of a carefully constructed photographic array:

Despite the hazards of initial identification by photograph, this procedure has been used widely and effectively in criminal law enforcement, from the standpoint both of apprehending offenders and of sparing innocent suspects the ignominy of arrest by allowing eyewitnesses to exonerate them through scrutiny of photographs. The danger that use of the technique may result in convictions based on misidentification may be substantially lessened by a course of cross-examination at trial which exposes to the jury the method's potential for error. We are unwilling to prohibit its employment, either in the exercise of our supervisory power or, still less, as a matter of constitutional requirement. Instead, we hold that each case must be considered on its own facts, and that convictions based on eyewitness identification at trial following a pretrial identification by photograph will be set aside on that ground only if the photographic identification procedure was so impermissibly suggestive as to give rise to a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.

Answer to Question 2

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
