Case: STATE V. L.H.

01 Jan Case: STATE V. L.H.

The defendant was charged with robbery with a deadly weapon (to wit: a stick). If convicted, he faced life in prison. The defendant had a lengthy felony record. At trial, a photo pack was shown to the victim who picked the defendant out of the pictures. When the photo pack was shown at trial, the defendant’s head was the smallest and looked nothing like the other five men in the pack. The defense argued misidentification due to the suggestive nature of the pictures. The defendant was found not guilty.
