These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The opportunity of the witness to view the criminal at the time of the crime; (2) the witness’ degree of attention; (3) the accuracy of the witness’ prior description; (4) the level of certainty demonstrated at the confrontation; and (5) the time between the crime and the confrontation.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“When a motion to suppress identification testimony is made, the trial judge must conduct a voir dire hearing and make findings of fact to support his conclusion of law and ruling as to the admissibility of the evidence. When the facts found are supported by competent evidence, they are binding on the appellate courts.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In light of the overwhelming evidence of defendant's guilt we cannot see how admission of this evidence could possibly have influenced the outcome of the trial.”
