Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

If in-court identification is tainted by an illegal out-of-court identification, it may be excluded. In this situation, a witness has previously identified the witness during an identification that was obtained illegally (such as where a post-indictment lineup was conducted in violation of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel). When identifying the defendant again at trial, the witness might be influenced by the prior identification. This is known as a tainted identification.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
