Lineup Was Unduly Suggestive

The Second Department determined the pretrial lineup identification procedure was unduly suggestive and sent the case back for an inquiry into whether the complainant had an independent source for the in-court identification:

The defendant was conspicuously displayed in that lineup. He was the only lineup participant dressed in a red shirt, the item of clothing which figured prominently in the description of the assailant's clothing that the complainant gave to the police. Thus, at the lineup, the defendant's red shirt improperly drew attention to his person … . Since the hearing court's erroneous determination effectively precluded the People from proffering evidence as to whether there was an independent source for the complainant's in-court identification, we remit the matter to the Supreme Court, Richmond County, to provide them with an opportunity to do so … . Pending a hearing and determination on that issue, the appeal is held in abeyance. People v Pena, 2014 NY Slip Op 08667, 2nd Dept 12-10-14
