I think there is a chance that a judge will throw out the final line-up on grounds it was unduly suggestive but I don't think any judge is going to prevent the accuser from IDing the defedants in court. If that happens it would basically be dismissing the case because there is no evidence other than the accuser's say so.
No judge is going to want to take responsibility for that ruling.

"No judge is going to want to take responsibility for that ruling."
What's worse--this case badly needs a change of venue to a place where race is not an issue. That is the defendant's RIGHT--to have a trial in an impartial setting, not where there is a lynch mob outside pressuring anyone on the jury who votes not to convict (with the Black Panthers muttering threats in court) and the judges fearful of public reaction.
But no judge in Durham is going to move it.
If this case were tried in any jurisdiction where race is not an issue, the jury would come back in five minutes with a "not guilty" verdict and criticize the court for wasting their time.
