When the Police Are Aware Suspect Is Represented by an Attorney and the Attorney’s Assistance Is Specifically Requested, the Attorney Must Be Contacted Before Conducting a Lineup Identification Procedure

Although the issue was not raised by the facts in the case, the Second Department noted the proper procedure for a lineup when the police are aware the suspect is represented by an attorney:

Where police are “aware that a . . . defendant is represented by counsel and the defendant explicitly requests the assistance of his attorney,” the police may not proceed with a lineup procedure, “without at least apprising the defendant’s lawyer of the situation and affording him or her an opportunity to appear” … . People v Blyden, 2014 NY Slip Op 02448, 2nd Dept 4-9-14
