California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Henderson, 101 Cal.Rptr. 129, 25 Cal.App.3d 371 (Cal. App. 1972):
The victim identified defendant's photograph from a group of eight mug shots shown to him by the police at his place of employment on the Tuesday following the robbery. Defendant was in custody at the time. Defendant contends that he had a right to have counsel present at the time of this photographic identification. People v. Lawrence, 4 Cal.3d 273, 279--280, 93 Cal.Rptr. 204, 481 P.2d 212, holds to the contrary.
