Supreme Court Takes Eyewitness Identification Case

The Supreme Court granted certiorari in an eyewitness identification case, Perry v. New Hampshire, No. 10-8974. The petitioner's brief states the issue thus:



QUESTION PRESENTED
Do the due process safeguards against the State’s use of unreliable eyewitness identification evidence at trial apply to all identifications which arise from impermissibly suggestive circumstances and which are very substantially likely to lead to misidentification, or only to those identifications which are also the product of “improper state action”?
&&&
The American Psychological Association submitted an amicus brief.
