1. “[T]he United States Supreme Court’s decision in Manson v. Brathwaite ( 432 U.S. 98 , 97 S.Ct. 2243 , 53 L.Ed.2d 140 (1977)) is instructive, and provides a five factor test: 1) the witness’s opportunity to view the defendant at the time the crime was committed; 2) the degree of attention paid by the witness during the commission of the crime; 3) the accuracy of any prior description; 4) the level of the witness’s certainty displayed at the time of the identification; and 5) the length of time elapsed between the crime and the identification.”
