"WRAL is reporting that the girl was shown ONLY pictures of the Lacrosse team in the photo lineup"

Boy, I sure hope that is wrong. Such an ID would be absolutely inadmissible. It reminds me of a lineup I had in a case with a small and poorly funded local police force. It was five B/Ms looking grim in booking photos and one guy in a photo with the background cut out and a huge smile on his face. I was worried about how I would explain that to the judge in an upcoming trial when the defendant was arrested by a larger police force on a much better-investigated charge. He got 70 years and I did not get laughed at by the judge. If the Durham photo lineup contained only team members, I think some North Carolina judge is due aching sides.

It's absolutely right -- and I provided the VIDEO LINK to prove it.
