“In Stovall v. Denno, 1967, 388 U.S. 293 , 87 S.Ct. 1967 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1199 , the Supreme Court recognized that a confrontation between witness and suspect may be `so unnecessarily suggestive and conducive to irreparable mistaken identification that [the witness] . . . was denied due process of law'. 388 U. S. at 302 , 87 S.Ct. at 1972 . In assessing a due process denial in the context of a confrontation, courts must consider `the totality of the circumstances surrounding it'. 388 U.S. at 302 , 87 S.Ct. at 1972 . See Foster v. California, 1969, 394 U.S. 440 , 89 S.Ct. 1127 , 22 L.Ed.2d 402 ; Simmons v. United States, 1968, 390 U.S. 377 , 88 S.Ct. 967 , 19 L.Ed.2d 1247 ; Ward v. Wainwright, 5 Cir. 1971, 450 F.2d 409 .”
