Did the same investigators conduct all 3 ID lineups?
Little is known publicly about the 16 March photo array. The other too seem to have violated good procedure and maybe DPD policy by having investigators associated with the case conduct the photo arrays.
The reason to have different DPD personnel than those investigating the case conduct the photo arrays is to have it conducted by someone who knows little about the case so they can not intentionally or unintentionally cue the witness who to chose. This is the issue our "Mike Nifong" raised above.

I think Cheshire's motion referred to a note written by lead detective Ben Himan about trying to get the accuser to furnish more details about her attackers on Mar. 16. I think Himan must have been involved in any line-up that day.
On Mar. 21 Cheshire referenced detective R.D. Clayton as the one doing the line-up that day. Clayton was also one of the two investigators who personally arrested cabbie Elmostafa a month later on the bogus warrant.
