“sketch, photograph, map, chart or other pictorial, graphic or schematic illustration which are not statements, but nonverbal modes of testimony.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Since at the time of the voice-up, criminal charges had not been formally made nor had adversary judicial proceedings been initiated against the defendant, it is not necessary for us to decide whether this voice identification procedure was more similar to a lineup or to a photographic display. Under both the [United States v.] Ash [ 413 U.S. 300 , 37 L. Ed. 2d 619 , 93 S. Ct. 2568 (1973)] and Wade-Kirby rules, the sixth amendment did not grant the defendant the right to have counsel present at the time his voice was identified by the victim.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“The sketch itself . . . need not fit an exception to the rule against hearsay because it is not a “statement” and therefore can no more be “hearsay” than a photograph identified by a witness. * * * The testimony of the artist was no more necessary as a condition of admissibility than a photographer’s testimony would have been had the witnesses identified a photograph.”
