Abstract

The United States Supreme Court has held that the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment does not compel a state criminal trial court to conduct a hearing outside the jury's presence to determine the admissibility of identification evidence whenever a defendant contends that a witness's identification of him was arrived at improperly.
