Does a judge err in holding that in-court identifications were reliable?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Ames, 91 F.3d 155 (9th Cir. 1996):
In light of the above factors, the district court did not err in holding that the pretrial identifications were reliable. Given that the pretrial identifications were reliable, the in-court identifications were "sufficiently reliable to justify their admission into evidence. It was then for the trier of fact to make the final determination of believability." Cupp v. Ponce, 735 F.2d 333, 338 (9th Cir.1984).
