Commonwealth v. Carter

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding no due process violation where defendant was arrested while wearing clothing that matched description given by witnesses to recent robbery, and was wearing same clothing during showup
• defendant not prejudiced by group identification absent proof of influence by one witness on another
• identification of real evidence does not carry “enormous probative weight” of personal identification, and therefore does not require same precautions; any suggestiveness goes to weight of evidence, not admissibility
