Case: STATE V. E.W.

01 Jan Case: STATE V. E.W.

The defendant was charged with robbery in the second degree and faced up to 15 years in State prison. He was alleged to have robbed a jewelry store. An FBI agent became involved in the case and showed only one picture of a suspect to the victim in the store. That picture just so happened to be the defendant so she said it was him who robbed her. At trial, the defense argued the agent should have showed a photo pack with more than one picture and only showing one photo was very suggestive. The jury agreed and found the defendant not guilty.
