These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant attempting to suppress an identification must prove 1) that the identification was unduly suggestive and 2) that there was a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification. State v. Prudholm , 446 So.2d 729 (La.1984). A lineup is unduly suggestive if the identification procedure displays the defendant so that the witness' attention is focused upon the defendant. State v. Neslo , 433 So.2d 73 (La.1983) ; State v. Tate , 454 So.2d 391 (La.App. 4th Cir.1984). Strict identity of physical characteristics among those in the photos is not required. All that is necessary is a sufficient resemblance to reasonably test identification. State v. Smith , 430 So.2d 31 (La.1983) ; State v. Roberson , 445 So.2d 12 (La.App. 4th Cir.1983), writ denied 449 So.2d 1344 (La.1984). There is no exact detailed criteria for a legitimate photographic lineup. Each case must be considered on its own facts. State v. Tonubbee , 420 So.2d 126 (La.1982), cert. denied 460 U.S. 1081 , 103 S.Ct. 1768 , 76 L.Ed.2d 342 (1983). The six color photographs were the same size and shape, depicting the head and upper chest of the individuals. All of the subjects were black males of similar skin tone and age with various degrees of facial hair. The defendant's photo shows a mole on his left cheek which is almost invisible. In State v. James , 431 So.2d 1075 (La.App. 2d Cir.1983), writ denied, 439 So.2d 1076 (1983), the defendant had a facial tattoo which had been noted by the victim in her descriptio”
