Helena Independent Record: Court rules against man convicted by eyewitness ID

Perry v. New Hampshire
“The Constitution protects a defendant against a conviction introduction of the evidence, but by affording the defendant means to persuade the jury that the evidence should be discounted as unworthy of credit. Only when evidence “is so extremely unfair that its admission violates fundamental conceptions of justice,” Dowling v. United States, 493 U. S. 342, 352 (internal quotation marks omitted),does the Due Process Clause preclude its admission.”
