Answer to Question 1

The photographic identification array involves displaying a picture of the suspect along with those of several other people to a victim or witness for the purpose of identification.
Photographic identification procedures approximate real-life lineups by including several people, but they are not subjected to the same constitutional restrictions that lineups are. In particular, there is no Sixth Amendment right to counsel during a photographic identification.

Answer to Question 2

Attacking a witness's credibility is referred to as impeachment. When faced with a witness whose credibility may be questionable, the prosecution or defense may decide to challenge the witness's credibility before the jury.
