The photo line-ups did not meet the state criminal justice system's protocols in any way, shape or form, and probably did not meet USSC case law precedent which requires that the photos and the presentation not be unduly suggestive or biased, which these clearly were.
Exactly, Nifong would have given her a photo array of three and made her pick three from it, if that is what it would have taken to get an indictment. He promised indictments. He had to have them prior to the primary. He was not about to let Mangum not ID someone.

I know it, you know it, most here know it - most except a couple, anyway.
Liefong would have cut her damn finger off and used it to point to three, if he had to.
